Mitochondria
Cell respiration takes place in the mitochondria of a cell. It involves the breakdown of glucose molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP through a series of biochemical reactions.
Intense oxidation can lead to the degradation or breakdown of organic molecules, resulting in the loss of their structure and function. This process can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can damage cells and biomolecules, leading to various health issues and aging. Additionally, intense oxidation can also cause changes in the physical properties of the material being oxidized, such as discoloration or degradation of the material.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle where protein folding takes place. Specifically, the rough ER, which is studded with ribosomes, is responsible for synthesizing and folding proteins that are meant for secretion or for use in the cell membrane. Chaperone proteins within the ER assist in the proper folding of these newly synthesized proteins. Misfolded proteins are typically identified and targeted for degradation to maintain cellular health.
Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell. This process involves the breakdown of glucose molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP. Oxygen is required for this process to occur efficiently.

Ribosomes
The breaking down of some complex molecules, such as polymers, occurs through a process known as hydrolysis.Hydrolysis takes place in the presence of water containing an acid or a base as catalyst. The water causes polymers to breakdown to monomers. Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy.
Glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid, takes place in the cytosol, outside the mitochondria
A common element of decomposition is nitrogen. This is a process where the chemical breakdown of complex molecules to simpler ones takes place.
Autophagy primarily takes place in the cytoplasm of cells. It involves the formation of autophagosomes, which are double-membraned vesicles that enclose cellular components targeted for degradation. These autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes, where the breakdown of the engulfed material occurs.
