What is Aerobic Respiration?
Aerobic respiration is the main means by which both plants and animals utilize energy in the form of organic compounds that was previously created through photosynthesis

Do your own homework or you won’t learn anything.

I’m stuck with stuff like that too…
here’s my q: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiZVN7lAEKuuDZYzPV6TlDvsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081112200119AAYgqMU
anyway, it’s seems slightly less efficient. my book says the usually make 36

The efficiency of respiration is 7.3 kcal per mole of ATP times 32 moles of ATP per mole of glucose divided by 686 kcal per mole of glucose, which equals 0.34.
So, about 34% of the potential chemical energy in glucose has been transferred to ATP. The actual percentage is probably higher because ΔG is lower under cellular conditions. The rest of the stored energy is lost as heat.
