The mitochondria are the organelles that carry out aerobic cellular respiration. The initial step, glycolysis, occurs in the cytoplasm, but the rest takes place in the mitochondria. Mitochondria occur in all eukaryotic cells, not just animal cells.

Which cells contain the mitochondria organelle plant cells animal cells or both?

It is in both plant and animal cells. It is needed for aerobic respiration


What organelle carries out cellular respiration in plants?

Mitochondria carry out cellular respiration in plants, where glucose is broken down to produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP. This process involves the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain within the mitochondria.


Do animanl cells have mitocchondria?

Yes, animal cells have mitochondria. Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles that are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they carry out cellular respiration, producing ATP (energy) for the cell.


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.


In what type of cells does cellular respiration occur?

plant and animal cells/ eukaryotic and happens in the organelle, mitochondria.


What organelle not in animals may contain chloroplasts?

Plant cells contain chloroplasts, which are membrane-bound organelles that carry out photosynthesis. This organelle is not found in animal cells.


What is the organelle responsible for cellualr respiration in animal cells?

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, but the Kreb's cycle happens in the matrix (inside) of the mitochondria and electron transport chain occurs on the innermembrane of the mitochondria.


Which organelle is found in plant cell but not animal cells?

Chlorophyll is the only organelle that exists in plant cells and not animal cells.


Do plant cells need to carry respiration and explain?

Yes. But not like animal cells. plants need co and co2 animal cells need o or o2


Which cell organelle contains the chromosomes that carry hereditary materials from parents to offsprin?

That is the job of the nucleus in animal cells.


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.


How animal cells use mitochondria?

That is to produce to energy. It carry out respiration
