Yes, cellular respiration involves the mitochondria
Yes. Most of the cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria and the mitochondria membrane. That is probably why the mitochondria are known as the "Powerhouse" of the cell.
the mitochondrians make atp. They do this by breaking down sugar molecules into energy for the cell. They are a very important part of celluar respiration.
Small molecules are down into even smaller molecules. During this process it uses oxygen and releases a great deal of energy.
They undertake aerobic respiration. It is the site
oxygen is added to the atmosphere when plants take in carbon dioxide during cellular respiration
I think you are asking about the respiration reaction Glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water C6H1206 + 6 O2 ---> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O (balanced equation)
They use both but under different circumstances. During the day, they use photosynthesis. During the night, since there is no sunlight, they have to use cellular respiration to produce energy.
glucose is changed into pyruvate
They lose potential energy.
mitochondria
It produces molecules of ATP.
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, water, and light energy is turned into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen and turned into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As you can see, the are both really a big cycle.

Mitochondria. There is a complex process called cellular respiration during which the mitochondria breaks down the food.
They use both but under different circumstances. During the day, they use photosynthesis. During the night, since there is no sunlight, they have to use cellular respiration to produce energy.

The last two phases of cellular respiration, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, take place in the mitochondria. This is the organelle where most of the ATP (energy) from respiration is released.
