Many important cellular functions in eukaryotic cells occur within membrane-enclosed organelles,such as cellular respiration occurring within the mitochondria.The membranes of the mitochondria provide a place for enzymes needed for cellular respiration to anchor and function.Prokaryotic cells must also carry out respiration but do not have mitochondria.Where is the most likely place that enzymes needed for cellular respiration are anchored and functioning?

Question
