First, the glucose is broken down. Scientists refer to this step as glycolysis. Then, the second process, aerobic respiration breaks the remains of the glucose down further. During aerobic respiration, oxygen is reduced, donating an electron to hydrogen to form water. The entire process of cellular respiration oxidizes glucose.
Aerobic cellular respiration is the process of converting the chemical energy of organic. molecules into a form immediately usable by organisms. Glucose may be oxidized completely if. sufficient oxygen is available, by the following reaction: C6H12O6 + 6O2(g) â 6 H2O + 6 CO2(g) + energy. All organisms, including plants and animals, oxidize glucose for energy. Often, this energy is. used to convert ADP and phosphate into ATP. In this experiment, the rate of cellular respiration. will be measured by monitoring the consumption of oxygen gas. Many environmental variables might affect the rate of aerobic cellular respiration. Temperature. changes have profound effects upon living things.
