In second stage of aerobic oxidation, pyruvic acid formed in glycolysis is transported to mitochondria, where it is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water. 34 out of 36 ATPs are also released in this process, giving mitochondria the name, ‘Power House of the Cell’.

Golgi apparatus package proteins into membrane bound vesicles inside the cell before they are sent to their destination.

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Chloroplast is responsible for conducting photosynthesis.
