which of the following processes takes place in the cytoplasm?

1.Anaerobic cellular respiration

2.Photosynthesis

3.Aerobic cellular respiration

4.The Kreb's Cycle

1 answer

Among the processes listed, the following occur in the cytoplasm:

  1. Anaerobic cellular respiration - This process takes place in the cytoplasm of cells and does not require oxygen.

  2. Photosynthesis - This primarily takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells; however, some initial steps (like the conversion of glucose) can be considered to occur in the cytoplasm.

The other two processes listed occur in different parts of the cell:

  1. Aerobic cellular respiration - This process primarily takes place in the mitochondria.

  2. The Kreb's Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle) - This cycle occurs in the mitochondria as part of aerobic respiration.

So, the main processes taking place in the cytoplasm from your list are 1 (Anaerobic cellular respiration) and, to some extent, 2 (Photosynthesis).
