Solution

Respiration:
It is the process where Glucose is broken down to produce energy.
It can either in presence of oxygen or absence of it.
Aerobic respiration:
It is a type of respiration that occurs in presence of oxygen.
It occurs in mitochondria.
Word equation for aerobic respiration:
(in cytoplasm) (in mitochondria)
Glucose -----------------------> Pyruvate -------------------------> 38ATPs + Water + Carbon dioxide.
