Question

The process of respiration takes place partially in the __________ and partially in the mitochondrion of the cell.

Answer 1

Respiration:

1. Respiration is the process of release of energy by breaking down food molecules(glucose) that are stored in the body cells.
2. There are two types of respiration: Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.
3. The initial process of respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and completes in the mitochondria of a cell.
4. There are mainly two phases of respiration-glycolysis and Kreb's cycle.
5. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell and Kreb's cycle occurs in the mitochondria of a cell.

Final answer:
The process of respiration takes place partially in the cytoplasm and partially in the mitochondrion of the cell.
