Aerobic Respiration
Quick revise
Aerobic respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen.
Glucose molecules react with oxygen molecules to form carbon dioxide and water molecules, with energy being released by the breaking of bonds in the glucose molecules.
Our bodies require energy for the seven life processes
This energy is obtained from respiration glucose + oxygen > water + carbon dioxide + energy
Glucose comes from our food, oxygen and from breathing
Water and carbon dioxide are exhaled
