rewatch
Brief Explanations
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy. The mitochondria are known as the power - houses of the cell and are the main sites for aerobic cellular respiration. Cytoplasm is involved in glycolysis (the first stage of cellular respiration), but the bulk of ATP production occurs in mitochondria. Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis, and ribosomes are for protein synthesis.
