Cellular respiration extracts energy from food and takes place in the organelle called a mitochondria.
It is made up of an outer membrane, an inner membrane, and a gooey matrix inside.
Mitochondria is also known as the "powerhouse". It is also involved in the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation phases of the respiration.
It is an oval-shaped organelle found in most of the eukaryotic cells. Its membranes are specialized for aerobic respiration. As the site of cellular respiration, mitochondria gets to transform molecules such as glucose into energy molecule known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
The electron transport chain and most ATP synthesis depends on the compartments created by the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
