Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of ____
A
nitrogen
B
carbon dioxiide
C
oxygen
D
carbon monoxide
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: -Respiration is the process during which glucose is broken down to produce energy. This of 2 types : When respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen it is called aerobic respiration. When respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen then it is called anaeobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen and in most cells most of the time. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and much less frequently than aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration always begins with glycolysis, which can occur either in the absence or presence of oxygen.
