Cellular respiration need to happen "to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions that involve the oxidation of one molecule and the reduction of another."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respirationBasically, it needs to turn energy from Nutrients to ATP. (Simplified Version) :D

Why does cellular respiration only occur in plant cells?
it doesnt.
Where does cellular respiration take place in cells?
cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of a plant. :)
Where in the cell does the aerobic cellular respiration occur or take place?
Prokaryotic and animal cells. As well as plant cells which preform Cellular Respiration after photosynthesis. Basically, all living organisms perform Cellular Respiration.
Respiration takes place in the cells of most organisms?
Cellular respiration takes place in all cells. However, aerobic cellular respiration does not take place in all cells. Many cells undergo anaerobic cellular respiration.
What is organelle that carry out cellular Respiration an photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are processes carried out in separate organelles within the cell. Cellular respiration occurs within mitochondria present in all living cells - both plant and animal. Photosynthesis occurs within the chloroplasts of plant cells only.
Why does cellular respiration only occur in plant cells?
it doesnt.
What types of cell does cellular respiration occur?
All cells need energy, so all cells undergo cellular respiration.
In what type of cells does cellular respiration occur?
plant and animal cells/ eukaryotic and happens in the organelle, mitochondria.
Do plant cells have cellular respiration?
Yes they do.
What is the function of the mitochondrion in plant cells?
Cellular respiration
Where does cellular respiration take place in cells?
cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of a plant. :)
Where does cellular respiration occur in a plant cell?
mitochondria
Do plants cells or animal cells carry out cellular respiration?
Yes. Plants and animals need energy. Energy must therefore be made in the cells.No, only animal cells carry on cellular respiration.animal cells carryon cellular respiration. plant cells carry out photosynthesis which is the opposite of respiration.
Where in the cell does the aerobic cellular respiration occur or take place?
Prokaryotic and animal cells. As well as plant cells which preform Cellular Respiration after photosynthesis. Basically, all living organisms perform Cellular Respiration.
Respiration takes place in the cells of most organisms?
Cellular respiration takes place in all cells. However, aerobic cellular respiration does not take place in all cells. Many cells undergo anaerobic cellular respiration.
Where do the final stages of cellular respiration occur?
In plant cells, photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunshine to make food, and oxygen. Cellular respiration uses oxygen photosynthesis makes and turns it into carbon dioxide so photosynthesis can occur again. -Emily
How would a loss of chlorophyll affect cellular respiration in plant cells?
Cellular respiration needs glucose. It is produced using chlorophylls
