Describe the process of aerobic respiration.

Respiration is the process by which cells make energy. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to make energy. Respiration involves a series of reactions.
The overall equation for the reaction is:Oxygen + Glucose —> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy The first stages of respiration occur in the cytoplasm of the cell, however most of the energy is realised in the reactions which take place in the mitochondria.
