Answer:
In the presence of oxygen When breakdown of glucose is carried out in the presence of oxygen in a cell, it is called as aerobic respiration. Glucose is converted into a 3 carbon molecule called pyruvate which further breaks down in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
in the presence of oxygen , when glucose is completely broken down into carbon dioxide water and energy is released in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) ..... and equation for this to represent it is : GLUCOSE ---> CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER + ENERGY
