Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anaerobic reactions of cellular respiration, specifically glycolysis, occur in the cytoplasm of the cell. This process does not require oxygen and is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The mitochondria are where the aerobic (oxygen-requiring) processes of the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain occur. The nucleus contains genetic material, while ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis and not cellular respiration.
