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

Respiration = C6H12O6 +6O2 -> 6CO2+ 6H2O
NAD+: electron acceptor. oxidizing agent
FAD: another electron acceptor
Glucose: 6Carbon molecule that is a reactant in respiration.
Pyruvate: glucose broken down, process called glycolysis, into 2Carbon compound, each called pyruvate
ATP: Adenine Triphosphate; energy to break off a phosphate results in energy for the cell
ADP: Adenine Diphosphate; once the 1 phosphate from ATP has been broken off, it now only has 2 phosphates.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Product as a result of many reactions. Also one of the end products in respiration
Oxygen (O2): Final electron acceptor. Must have O2 for respiration to occur, otherwise reaction will fermentate or anaerobic respiration. This still makes energy but not nearly as much as if O2 is present.
Water (H2O): Molecule that is removed or added to convert isomers into other molecules or rearranges bonds in the substrates
