Hey there
_________here is the answer _______________
An aerobic respiration takes place only in the presence of oxygen
The other reactions are anaerobic
But in aerobic respiration complete oxidation of glucose takes place because of two steps
• The glucose is converted into a compound called pyruvate
• 2nd. This pyruvate is acted upon by oxygen to for. The end products of aerobic respiration— CO2, H2O and energy
Glucose—> pyruvate—> CO2+H2O+heat energy
