Explanation:
Explanation:Aerobic respiration is a biological process in which food glucose is converted into energy in the presence of oxygen. The chemical equation of aerobic respiration is as given below- Glucose (C6H12O6) + Oxygen 6(O2) → Carbon-dioxide 6(CO2) + Water 6 (H2O) + Energy (ATP)

☞ What is Aerobic Respiration?
- As already stated, cellular respiration can be of two types: aerobic and anaerobic.
- Aerobic means “with air”.
- Therefore, aerobic respiration is the process of cellular respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy from food.
- This type of respiration is common in most of the plants and animals, including humans, birds and other mammals.
- The process can be simply explained with the help of the following equation :-
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

✒ What is Aerobic respiration ?
- Anaerobic means “without air”.
- Therefore, this type of cellular respiration does not use oxygen to produce energy.
- Sometimes there is not enough oxygen around for some organisms to respire, but they still need the energy to survive.
- Due to lack of oxygen, they carry out respiration in the absence of oxygen to produce the energy they require, which is referred to as anaerobic respiration.
- The process can be simply explained with the help of the following equation :-
Glucose → Alcohol + Carbon dioxide + Energy
