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."
