Question

Name the immediate and the end product of glucose breakdown in aerobic respiration

Answer 1

The respiration which uses oxygen is called as Aerobic respiration.

In aerobic respiration the glucose food is completely broken down into Carbon dioxide and water by oxidation.
Aerobic respiration also produces energy for use by organisms which get stored in the ATP molecules.

Chemical Reaction Involved :

glycolysis Oxygen (Kreb's Cycle)
GLUCOSE--------------> Pyruvate -------------------> 6CO2 + 6H2O +38 ATP

Intermediate products are Pyruvate
End products are = CO2, WATER AND ATP
