Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all organisms. In the cell, the food (glucose) is broken down into carbon dioxide and water using oxygen. When breakdown of glucose occurs with the use of oxygen it is called aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Respiration is the process that all living things go through to create the energy they need to live. This happens in the cells so it is also called cellular respiration. It usually involves exchanging two gases-oxygen and carbon dioxide. The cells take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration process takes place in all multicellular organisms including animals, plants and other living organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of cellular respiration (see Cellular Respiration concept): aerobic and anaerobic. One occurs in the presence of oxygen (aerobic), and one occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic). Both begin with glycolysis-the splitting of glucose.
