Yes. The mitochondria produces ATP by oxidizing the major products of glucose, pyruvate, and NADH in the presence of oxygen. Because oxygen is required, it is known as aerobic respiration. (anaerobic = no oxygen)

Why would you not expect to find mitochondria in anaerobic organisms?

Mitochondria are organelles responsible for aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen. Anaerobic organisms do not rely on oxygen for their energy production, instead they use fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Therefore, they would not have mitochondria.


Does anaerobic respiration take place inside the mitochondria?

Anaerobic Respiration occurs only in the absence of Oxygen.


Is mitochondria primarily the anaerobic phase of respiration?

True


What is the site of anaerobic respiration?

In fast twitch muscles.Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria.


is mitochondria the site of anaerobic respiration?

Yes. Cell respiration has 3 parts: glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation (the electron transport chain). Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and the Krebs cycle/ox-phos occur in the mitochondria.


Where is anaerobic respiration take place?

The reactions of anaerobic respiration take place in the cytoplasm.


Where does cellular respiration ends?

Aerobic respiration ends in mitochondria. Anaerobic in the cytoplasm


How are cellular respiration and anaerobic respiration similar?

Both cellular respiration and anaerobic respiration are processes that involve the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. They both occur in the cytoplasm of cells. However, anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen, while cellular respiration requires oxygen and occurs in the mitochondria.


What best describes where cellular respiration?

Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of body cells. Anaerobic respiration (glcolysis) occurs in the intracellular cytosol.


What organelles are used in order to break down food for ATP?

You are referring to the process of cellular respiration. Anaerobic cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm. Aerobic cellular respiration starts in the cytoplasm, and is completed in the mitochondria.


Does anaerobic respiration occur in cytoplasm or mitochondria?

Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. It does not require oxygen and involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. Mitochondria are only involved in aerobic respiration, which does require oxygen and yields more ATP.


What molecule is used during aerobic respiration?

Cellular respiration can be aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, anaerobic respiration does not need oxygen.
