Aerobic respiration

• Aerobic respiration:

  When cells use oxygen to break down glucose to reduce energy. produces water, carbon dioxide and energy (ATP) as waste
• Where does it happen

  In the mitochondria
• Happens in animals and plants
• Provides energy for movement , growth and repair and keeping warm
• It releases more energy than anaerobic respiration - more efficient
• Why does aerobic respiration release a lot of energy?

  The glucose molecule has been fully oxidised
