after glycolysis, the two pyruvates become acetyl-CoA and enter the

citric acid cycle in the mitochondrion

after that, oxidative phosphorylation starts. First, there is the electron transport chain in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion, which involves using the electrons from NADH (it then becomes NAD+) to power H+ ions from the mitochondrial matrix to the inner membrane space, and eventually back through a protein called ATP synthase into the mitochondrial matrix again. The last part is referred to as chemiosmosis.

As you can see, most of cellular respiration ("step 2" and "step 3") occur in the mitochondrion of cells.

What is the first stage of cellular respiration and the oldest in terms of evolution?

The first stage of cellular respiration is glycolysis, which occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. This process is thought to be the oldest stage of cellular respiration in evolutionary terms because it is a simple and ancient metabolic pathway that can occur without the presence of oxygen.
