Open in App
Solution

  • The oxidation of glucose in the presence of oxygen to release energy (ATP) is called Aerobic respiration.
  • The general equation of aerobic respiration is as given below:

Glucose + oxygen Carbon-dioxide+ Water+ Energy

  • Aerobic respiration is breakdown of sugar/other food substances in presence of oxygen to released energy.
  • It includes glycolysis, Kreb cycle and electron transport chain.
  • Glycolysis and Kreb cycle produce reducing compounds NADH, FADH2 which are then oxidized in presence of oxygen by the process of chemiosmosis and reduce oxygen to water.
