Recall that the mitochondria is where all energy is being produced in the cell. Therefore, since cellular respiration produces energy for your body, it would occur in the organelle called the mitochondrion. Hope this helps! :)

Cellular repiration takes place in the mitochodrion. The 3 phases of cellular respiration are Glycolysis (Fermentation), Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. The Krebs cycle and electron transport takes place in the mitochondria.
