Aerobic respiration:
The process in which ATP, CO2 and water are released but independent of light is aerobic respiration.
∙ During aerobic respiration, respiratory substrates such as glucose, proteins, fats are completely oxidised to release energy stored in them in the form of ATP.
∙ The carbon of these organic compounds is released as CO2.
Final answer:
a) Aerobic respiration
Catabolic process:
∙ Energy released in the form of ATP is called catabolic. The process which involves the breakdown of organic compounds.
∙ Respiration is a catabolic process.
Final answer:
b) Catabolic process
Raw materials for aerobic respiration:
The raw materials for the aerobic respiration are called respiratory substrates such as carbohydrates (glucose), fats and proteins.
Final answer:
c) Carbohydrates (glucose), fats and proteins
