Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondrion is the organelle where aerobic respiration occurs. This process involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.

The other organelles listed do not play a major role in aerobic respiration. The nucleus contains genetic material and is involved in gene expression, the lysosome contains enzymes that break down waste materials, the Golgi body is involved in packaging and processing proteins, and the rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and transport.
