  • Molecules Required for Aerobic Respiration

    Oxygen is the molecule required for aerobic respiration. Other molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, or fats can be used in the ATP process but the preferred final receptor is oxygen. Anaerobic means without air (lacking oxygen).

  • Comparing and Contrasting Photosynthesis and Aerobic Cellular Respiration

    This reaction stores energy in the chemical bonds of glucose. Sugar and other carbohydrates are used as fuel sources by cells. During the process of Aerobic Cellular Respiration, glucose is broken down using oxygen.

  • ---

    During the process of Aerobic Cellular Respiration, glucose is broken down using oxygen. This reaction releases energy which is used to create ATP molecules, the energy carrier molecule of cells.

  • Anaerobic and aerobic life forms

    However, oxygen is actually a poison to many organisms when it is in the forms of hydrogen peroxide H2O2 or superoxygen O2- and there are enzymes such as catalse to deal with those compounds.
