    Study Notes

    Aerobic Respiration Overview

    • Respiration is a chemical process, not breathing.
    • Ventilation describes breathing.
    • This process occurs in all human cells.
    • The key equation is: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water.
    • This reaction releases energy from glucose slowly.
    • The process happens in the mitochondria.
    • Cells requiring more energy have more mitochondria.
    • "Aerobic" means "in the presence of oxygen," not merely "in air."
