Where do the steps to synthesize a larger number of ATP molecules take place in eukaryotes?
Options
- ACytoplasm
- BNucleus
- CMitochondria
- DChloroplast
Correct answer
C. Mitochondria
Step-by-step solution
In eukaryotes these steps take place within the mitochondria and this requires O₂ . Aerobic respiration is the process that leads to a complete oxidation of organic substances in the presence of oxygen, and releases CO₂ , water and a large amount of energy present in the substrate. This type of respiration is most common in higher organisms.
