Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration can be defined generally as the process by which chemical energy is released during the oxidation of organic molecules. If it requires oxygen it is called aerobic respiration, whereas if it takes place in the absence of oxygen it is anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists. It is often called aerobic respiration because the process requires oxygen (the root aer comes from the Greek word for “air”).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is called an aerobic process, because it needs oxygen/carbon dioxide to take place. Cellular respiration takes place in the chloroplasts/ mitochondria. During glycolysis, one molecule of glucose/protein is split into 2 three carbon molecules and two ADP/ATP are formed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxygen is required in the cellular respiration in the electron transporter chain. It serves as the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain facilitating the movement of electrons down the chain hence producing the ATP or adenosine triphosphate.
