  • Where Does Cellular Respiration Happen? Eukaryotes & Prokaryotes Explained
    Cellular respiration occurs in all living cells that use oxygen for energy production. This includes:

    * Eukaryotic cells: These cells have membrane-bound organelles, including mitochondria, where the majority of cellular respiration takes place. Examples include plant, animal, fungal, and protist cells.

    * Prokaryotic cells: These cells lack membrane-bound organelles and carry out cellular respiration in their cytoplasm. Examples include bacteria and archaea.

    While the specific steps and locations of cellular respiration may vary slightly between these types of cells, the overall process of breaking down glucose to produce ATP is fundamentally the same.
