The process of cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.
Further Explanation:
Mitochondria are presents in the eukaryotes and absent in single celled organelle such as RBC which has no nucleus. Mitochondria are made up of two membranes outer layer and inner layer, space between the two membranes called intermembrane space. The space enclosed by inner membrane is referred as cell matrix, inner membrane have many folds to increase their surface area for the synthesis of ATP.
Functions of mitochondria are:
- Cellular respiration occurs here.
- Regulates membrane potential
The cellular respiration in animals and plant mainly occurs in mitochondria. The Cellular respiration is referred as a total collection of methods and metabolic process that occur in cells. It is a process by which the cells of the body breakdown the food to produce energy. This energy is required for all the metabolic functions as well as the physical role of the body. Cellular respiration can be dividing into three stages,
