Answer 2

Respiration

Explanation:

• Respiration can be defined as the biochemical process, it involves intake of oxygen and release of carbondioxide, water and energy in form of Adenosine triphosphate.
• Respiration  is of two types aerobic and anaerobic.
• Aerobic respiration requires oxygen for breakdown of glucose, it occurs in every cell of higher organisms.
• 38 ATP molecules are produced from one glucose molecule, it occurs in cytoplasm and mitochondria.
• Anaerobic respiration occurs in absence of oxygen.
• End products of anaerobic respiration are Ethanol and carbondioxide or lactic acid.
• Only Two ATP molecules are produced in anaerobic respiration, it occurs only inside the cytoplasm.
