aerobic respiration
aerobic respiration A type of
respiration in which foodstuffs (usually carbohydrates) are completely oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, with the release of chemical energy, in a process requiring atmospheric oxygen. The reaction can be summarized by the equation: C
6H
12O
6 + 6O
2 → 6CO
2 + 6H
2O + energy
The chemical energy released is stored mainly in the form of
ATP. The first stage of aerobic respiration is
glycolysis, which takes place in the cytosol of cells and also occurs in fermentations and other forms of
anaerobic respiration. Further oxidation in the presence of oxygen is via the
Krebs cycle and
electron transport chain, enzymes for which are located in the
mitochondria of eukaryote cells. Most organisms have aerobic respiration (i.e. they are
aerobes); exceptions include certain bacteria and yeasts.
