Detailed explanation-1: -A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars). Also called aerobic metabolism, cell respiration, and oxidative metabolism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration that proceeds in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration can occur both aerobically (using oxygen), or anaerobically (without oxygen). 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are two types of cellular respiration: aerobic and anaerobic. One occurs in the presence of oxygen (aerobic), and one occurs in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic).
Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration is called an aerobic process because oxygen is required for it to work. Some organisms break down glucose anaerobically, meaning they do not use oxygen, and this is called fermentation.
