Why is the mitochondria the site of aerobic cellular respiration?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
All the enzymes required for the aerobic respiration(respiration requiring oxygen) are present in mitochondria,thus it always takes place in mitochondria.However,anaerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm of cell because all the required enzymes are present in cytoplasm

∙ 13y agoCellular Respiration takes place in the Mitochondria. Mitochondria is where Krebs cycle and electron transport chain produces mass quantity of ATP for the cell. When a glucose enters the cell, glycolysis occurs within the cytoplasm converting the glucose into pyruvates, which then enters the mitochondria for further use.

∙ 12y agoThe Mitochondria are the site of aerobic cellular respiration because of the mitochondria's unique double bilayer, similar to the chloroplast. Mitochondria have a channel protein called ATP Synthase on their bilayer which, in coordination with cellular respiration, allows ADP to be phosphorylated into ATP, which is this main end goal of Cellular Respiration.

∙ 12y agoCellular respiration can be described as:
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (As ATP)
Without energy, cellular functions such as active removal of waste can not be performed. All organisms need energy to survive.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, Cellular Respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoBecause the mitochondria is the energy source for the cell. Also known as the "power house" of the cell.

What store's energy that is released in respiration come from?
Respiration releases energy for use in life processes. There are two types of respiration, aerobic (uses oxygen) and anaerobic (does not use oxygen). Respiration can produce useful products that have uses in a range of industries.
What structures are common to both pant cells and animal cells?
Both: mitochondria, golgi bodies, rough/smooth endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm,cell membrane, lysosomes, nucleus, ribosomes, nucleolus, Plants: cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole Animal: Centrioles
What do mitochondrea do?
Mitochondriaare the organelles that convert chemical energy, stored in food, into a compound that can be used by the cell. The mitochondria break down food and turn it into energy for the cell to use. Inside the mitochondria energy is stored and food is converted for use in a cell. The number of mitochondria in the cell can depend on the purpose of the cell. They are the "power plants" of cells. They produce energy. In multicellular organisms the mitochondria play an important role in apoptosis (death). They break down sugars to make energy. By analogy they would be the furnace compartment (where the fire burns) of a steam train. Added: The mitochondria are the source of the cell's ATP; the energy currency of the cell. Food eaten is oxidized and through final process of oxidative phosphorylation ATP is synthesized and the cell can do its work. Mitochondria improve the efficiency of turning food into energy (without them only fermentation or alternative chemical reactions are possible). Since the mitochondria generate energy for the cell, they are also called, the batteries of the cell, powering all cellular activities.
What organelle requires ATP?
Virtually all organelles need ATP in order to function correctly.
What does cyloplasm do?
The cytoplasm is the site where most cellular activities occur, such as many metabolic pathways, and processes such as cell division.
What does the mitochondria control?
No. The mitochondria are the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
What is the site of aerobic cellular respiration?
The site of aerobic respiration is in the mitochondria of the cell. The three stages of aerobic respiration are glycolysis, kerb Cycle, and electron transport chain.
Is chloroplast in photosynthesis or cellar respiration?
Chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis. Mitochondria are the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
Does a cells enery come from the nucleus?
No. A cell's energy comes from the mitochondria, which are the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
Does a cell energy come from a nucleus?
No. The cell's energy comes from the mitochondria, which are the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
Does a cells energy come from a nucleus?
No. The cell's energy comes from the mitochondria, which are the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
What are the organelles where aerobic respiration takes place?
Mitochondria is an organelle present in both plant and animal cells. This is where the process known as cellular respiration happens.
What is the site in cellular respiration?
idk what it is that is what i am asking wiki answer but the stupid thing is not teling me
Where is the site for cellular respiration?
mitochondria
What does the mitochondrion do?
The mitochondria are the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
How does mitochondria relate to photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
The Role of Mitochondria Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell.
which organelle is the site of cellular respiration?
Mitochondria
