Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic respiration is a process which takes place in the presence of oxygen. This oxygen is used to break down organic compounds such as glucose in the body to supply energy to the cells. The energy is in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration proceeds in the presence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy in the presence of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that does not use oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis can take place without oxygen in a process called fermentation. The other three stages of cellular respiration-pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation-require oxygen in order to occur.
