Mitochondria produce ATP, which is a form of energy to help with many processes. Mitochondrion is the singular version.

What type of cells do the mitochondria take place in?

Mitochondria is in both animal cells, and plant cells. The mitochondria is the part of the cell that is like the small power house in the animal/plant cell.


What are the organelles where aerobic respiration takes place?

Aerobic respiration primarily takes place in the mitochondria of the cell. The mitochondria are responsible for producing the majority of the cell's energy in the form of ATP through the process of aerobic respiration.


Where in plant cells does cellular respiration take place?

Cellular respiration in plant cells primarily takes place in the mitochondria, which are membrane-bound organelles responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP. In addition to mitochondria, some cellular respiration processes also occur in the cytoplasm of the plant cell.


Does cellular respiration occur in plants cells?

Yes, cellular respiration occurs in plant cells. It is the process by which plants break down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process takes place in the mitochondria of plant cells.


Even though plants carry on photosynthesis plant cells still use their mitochondria for oxidation of pyruvate When and where will this occur?

Plant cells use their mitochondria for the oxidation of pyruvate during cellular respiration, which occurs in the presence of oxygen. This process takes place in the mitochondria of plant cells to generate ATP for energy production, even though photosynthesis is the main process for creating energy in plants.


Where does cellular respiration take place in cells?

Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of cells. The process involves breaking down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) that cells can use for various activities.


Why are the mitochondria in plant cells important?

Mitochondria in plant cells are important because - Plants need energy for their growth and metabolic process. This energy is obtained by using glucose and oxygen through a process called respiration. This takes place in the mitochondria.


Is mitochondria found in both plant and animal cells?

Nearly all eukaryotic cells, including plants, contain Mitoochondria.


Why do plant cell have chloroplast and animals do not?

Plants cells have chloroplasts because they need it for a process called photosynthesis. But both plant and animal cells have mitochondria. Animal cells can use the mitochondria to get energy that why they need chloroplast.


Where does plant respiration take place?

In the mitochondria, just like animal cells.


What is the site of energy production in a plant or animal cell?

In plant cells, the site of energy production is the chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs. In animal cells, the site of energy production is the mitochondria, where cellular respiration takes place.


Do plant Cells have mitochondria?

They do have mitochondria, though it is not as much of a power source for the plant - during the Daytime - , because chloroplasts do that job. There are mitochondria in all plant and animal Cells; otherwise the Cells would not be able to respire aerobically - during the Nighttime - , and they would obtain very little Atp from each glucose molecule. It is also found in the animal Cell, as well.
