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.

What happens to the atmosphere during cellular respiration?
oxygen is added to the atmosphere when plants take in carbon dioxide during cellular respiration
What chemical reaction that occurs during mitochondria?
I think you are asking about the respiration reaction Glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water C6H1206 + 6 O2 ---> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O (balanced equation)
Where in the cell does cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
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.
What happens during glucolysis in cellular respiration?
glucose is changed into pyruvate
What happens to electrons during cellular respiration?
They lose potential energy.
What things are used during cellular respiration?
mitochondria
What is the main function of mitochondria during cellular respiration?
It produces molecules of ATP.
Where is photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place?
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.
Cellular respiration often begins with glucose which is broken down during what?
In the mitochondria

What do cells use to breakdown food?
Mitochondria. There is a complex process called cellular respiration during which the mitochondria breaks down the food.
Where in the cell does cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
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.
What happens during glycolsis in cellular respiration?
glucose is changed into pyruvate
What happens during glucolysis in cellular respiration?
glucose is changed into pyruvate
What happens to electrons during cellular respiration?
They lose potential energy.
What organelle produces most of the energy that is released during respiration?
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.
