Aerobic Respiration

Aerobic respiration process:

Glucose is breaking down into pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm by the glycolysis process
In glycolysis, only two pyruvate molecules are produced
Pyruvic acid produced is transported into the mitochondrion
In the mitochondrion, pyruvic acid will be broken down and oxidized into carbon dioxide and water
About 34-36 ATP molecules are produced in mitochondrion
