Solution

Dear student.

Cellular respiration is the process by which energy is released from the breakdown of organic substances (glucose). This process occurs inside the mitochondria. It is exactly opposite to the process of photosynthesis.

The total number of ATPs produced during aerobic respiration of one molecule of glucose is 38.

Regards.
