Question

What is the process by which organisms can carry out complete oxidation of glucose and extract the energy stored to synthesise a larger number of ATP molecules needed for cellular metabolism?

Answer 1

Part 1: Introduction
Respiration is one of the important processes, carried out by all living organisms including plants and animals. All the energy required to perform varied life processes comes from respiratory breakdown of certain macromolecules, which are obtained as a process of nutrition. Respiration can occur both during the presence or in the absence of oxygen.

Part 2: Definition
Aerobic respiration - It is the process of complete oxidation of organic substances to release $C{O}_2$, water and a large amount of energy present in the substrate.

Part 3:Location and end products formed in aerobic respiration This reaction occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cell and $C{O}_2$, $H_{2}O$ and 38 molecules of ATP are produced.
