Question

Why respiration occur in only mitochondria?

Answer 1

Most of the work behind respiration happens in the mitochondria of cells. The energy-rich molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is made in themitochondria using energy from the sun (for plants) or food (for animals and humans). ... Fat cells have manymitochondria because they store large amounts of energy.

Answer 2

HEY FRND

Mitochondria are membrane-- bound organelles in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Their function is to supply cellular energy in the form of ATP to cells to use as chemical energy for life processes. Respiration is catabolic because large molecules are broken into smaller ones, accompanied by the release of energy.
