Aerobic respiration

Biology

The definition of aerobic respiration

The breakdown of glucose involving oxygen to produce chemical energy

Processes involved in aerobic respiration

Glycolysis and oxidation of pyruvate

Glycolysis

The breakdown of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate by using enzymes

Location of glycolysis

Cytoplasm

The product of oxidation of pyruvate

Carbon dioxide, water, and energy that occurs in the mitochondria

Form of energy produced during respiration

ATP

The complete process of glucose oxidation

The processes involved in aerobic respiration to produce energy (1)

The breakdown of sugar (the process of glycolysis) takes place inside cytoplasm

The processes involved in aerobic respiration to produce energy (2)

Glucose (6-carbon) is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (3-carbon)

The processes involved in aerobic respiration to produce energy (3)

In stages subsequently, pyruvate will be oxidized through a series of reactions to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy
