Mitrochondria convert glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP): They “burn” (use) oxygen and give off carbon dioxide and water. Because the process uses oxygen, it is said to be aerobic (as in aerobic exercise)

ATP is created through a complex enzyme driven process.
Glycolysis - Glucose is broken into 2 sub units called pyruvate which creates 2 units of ATP per molecule of glucose.
Respiration - in which pyruvate is combined to form CO2 and water which creates a lot of ATP per unit of molucule of Pyruvate (16 units).
