Answer:
The conversion of food into energy is as follows:
1) in aerobic type of respiration, it occurs in three steps:
a)GLYCOLYSIS
Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm. Each molecule of glucose in converted into 2 molecules of each pyruvic acid , water, NADH², CO² and ATP
Molecules of pyruvic acid are converted into Acetyl-- Co enzyme A . During this process, 2 molecules of NADH² and two molecules of CO² are released.
2) Tricarboxcylic chain reaction or Krebs cycle
