anaerobic respiration
phospholipid synthesis
fermentation
intracellular digestion
cellular respiration

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Anaerobic respiration: Occurs in the cytoplasm, not mitochondria.
• Phospholipid synthesis: Mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum, not mitochondria.
• Fermentation: A type of anaerobic respiration, occurs in the cytoplasm.
• Intracellular digestion: Occurs in lysosomes, not mitochondria.
• Cellular respiration: The aerobic part (Krebs cycle, electron transport chain) occurs in the mitochondrion.

Answer:

E. cellular respiration
