Detailed explanation-1: -During cellular respiration, oxygen is utilized to break glucose into carbon dioxide, water and energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -Just like our digestive system breaks down the food we eat, cells must break down glucose to use it. Cells use oxygen to break down glucose and release its energy during a process called cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-4: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP.
