Which one of the following organelles is required for aerobic respiration?
Correct answer: B. Mitochondrion
- A. Nucleus
- B. Mitochondrion
- C. Endoplasmic Reticulum
- D. Plastids
- E. Cytoskeleton
Explanation
The correct answer is the mitochondrion, as it is the site where aerobic respiration takes place, producing ATP through the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. Other organelles like the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, plastids, and cytoskeleton play vital roles in the cell but are not directly involved in the energy production processes of aerobic respiration.
