Aerobic Respiration Definition:

  • Aerobic respiration is a process that can completely catabolize a reduced organic energy source to CO2 using the glycolytic pathways and TCA cycle with O2 as the terminal electron acceptor for an electron transport chain.

Aerobic Respiration Notes:

Aerobic respiration is process in which cellular energy is produced by using oxygen. Roughly 36 ATP molecules are made in mitochondria when cell break down food in a multistep process. First is glycolysis then in the process of citric acid cycle (TCA cycle) and then in the electron transport chain (ETC) these ATP molecules are made.
