Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the purpose of Aerobic respiration?
A
to break down food
B
to create energy in the body
C
to release energy from food
D
there is none; it’s a waste of time
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Aerobic Respiration: It is the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food. This type of respiration is common in most of the plants and animals, birds, humans, and other mammals. In this process, water and carbon dioxide are produced as end products.

Detailed explanation-2: -A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars).

Detailed explanation-3: -Respiration using oxygen to break down food molecules is called aerobic respiration . Glucose is the molecule normally used for respiration – it is the main respiratory substrate . Glucose is oxidised to release its energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration Glucose is oxidised to release its energy, which is then stored in ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Respiration is the process through which living organisms take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide to release energy. During respiration, there is a release of carbon-dioxide and water when glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen. During this reaction, the energy is released.
