AEROBIC RESPIRATION

Aerobic respiration :                     Aerobic respiration is a process that cells use to release energy from food in the presence of oxygen. It is the most common type of respiration in animals and plants.                     Aerobic respiration is a very efficient way to produce energy. It can produce up to 38 molecules of ATP from a single molecule of glucose. This is much more than can be produced by anaerobic respiration, which only produces 2 molecules of ATP from a single molecule of glucose.                     Aerobic respiration is essential for the survival of most organisms. It provides the energy that cells need to carry out all of their functions, including growth, repair, and movement.                     There are a few things that can interfere with aerobic respiration. One is a lack of oxygen. If there is not enough oxygen available, the cells will switch to anaerobic respiration, which is less efficient. Another thing that can interfere with aerobic respiration is
