Expert Solution

Answer is option B i.e Mitochondria

Cellular respiration take place in Mitochondria that is doble membrane bound structure. Mitochondria is also called powerhouse of the cell because it produces ATP.

Cellular respiration is an oxidative process in which free energy is released in the form of ATP from organic compounds like carbohydrates, fats, proteins etc. This free energy is required for the maintenance of body structure, cellular components synthesis, movement, generation of electrical current and for many others activities or processes.

This ATP not released in a single step it generated or released through a multitude steps in controlled manner.

During cellular respiration, respiratory substrate such as glucose undergo complete or incomplete oxidation.

Complete oxidation of substrate occur in the presence of oxygen which release CO2, water and large amount of free energy or ATP.

Incomplete oxidation of substrate occur in the absence of oxygen in which lesser amount of ATP generated than Complete oxidation of substrate.

So the main function of cellular respiration is the production of ATP which is necessary for all living organisms which is occur in mitochondria.

The following reactions take place in a batch reactor: A+B--> C (desired product) B+C-->D (hazardous product) As the reaction proceeds, D builds up in the reactor and could cause an explosion if its concentration exceeds 15 mol/L. To ensure the safety of the plant personnel, the reaction is quenched (e.g., by cooling the reactor contents to a low temperature) and the products are extracted when the concentration of D reaches 10mol/L. The concentration of C is measured in real-time, and...
