7 0

Cellular respiration in the cells of organisms is a metabolic process and metabolic reaction to convert nutrients (specifically, biochemical nutrients) to ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process can be aerobic respiration (involves oxygen) or anaerobic respiration( does not require oxygen). Aerobic process is a cellular respiration which involves oxygen. ATP is made when oxygen is present as it releases energy from glucose and other carbon-based molecules. In this process, plenty of ATP molecules are made compared to the anaerobic process which does not involve oxygen and only creates two molecules of ATP.
