RESPIRATION
  1. AEROBIC RESPIRATION
    1. Complete breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to release a large amount of energy in the form of ATP molecules which are used to drive other chemical reactions in cytoplasm and nucleus Carbon dioxide and water are waste products
      1. C6H12O6+6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
