The enzymatic reactions of cellular respiration begin in the cytoplasm, but most of the reactions occur in the mitochondria. Cellular respiration occurs in the double-membrane organelle called the mitochondrion. The folds in the inner membrane are called cristae.

Beside above, what organelle is considered a factory because it takes in? Chloroplasts turn sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into food (glucose). What organelle is considered a factory, because it takes in raw materials and converts them to cell products that can be used by the cell? Cell membrane protects the cell; controls what goes in and out of cell, communication.

Just so, in what organelle does cellular respiration take place quizlet?

The process that makes food for plants by using the energy from the sun to produce oxygen and sugar. A chemical process in the mitochondria that makes energy out of sugar and oxygen creating ATP. ATP is the energy molecule of life!!! 🙂 Photosynthesis occurs within the organelle called the chloroplast.

What organelle is the site of the citric acid cycle?

mitochondrion
