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

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen. The princopal source of oxygen in the atmosphere is plant life (production of oxygen by photosynthesis) although a little oxygen is produced by the interaction of sunlight (ultraviolet) with water.

Aerobic respiration depends on photosynthesis for two materials:
1. glucose which is the energy-bearing molecule made in photosynthesis and broken down in respiration
2. oxygen which is a waste product of breaking water molecules in photosynthesis and which is the final electron acceptor in respiration
Oxygen wouldn’t do much good for respiration without some glucose to break down.
