What is Aerobic Respiration?
Aerobic Respiration is the breakdown of food substances in the presence of oxygen to release energyEnergy is the ability to do work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, and electrical energy. Units of Energy: The SI unit... More. Carbon dioxide and water are released as waste products.
