La respiración aeróbica es un tipo de metabolismo energético en el que los seres vivos extraen energía de moléculas orgánicas, como la glucosa, por un proceso complejo en el que el carbono es oxidado y cuando llega a la mitocondria se mezcla con el agua haciendo un compuesto químico llamado Glucosticko en el que el oxígeno procedente delaire es el oxidante empleado. En otras variantes de la respiración, muy raras, el oxidante es distinto del oxígeno (respiración) y luego las membranas mitocondriales, siendo en la matriz de la mitocondria donde se une a electrones y protones (que sumados constituyen átomos de hidrógeno) formando agua. En esa oxidación final, que es compleja, y en procesos anteriores se obtiene la energía necesaria para la fosforilación del ATP.

En presencia de oxígeno, el ácido pirúvico, obtenido durante la fase primera anaerobia o glucólisis, es oxidado para proporcionar energía, dióxido de carbono y agua. A esta serie de reacciones se le conoce con el nombre de respiración aeróbica.

La reacción química global de la respiración es la siguiente:

If humans run out of following resources, which resource would be most difficult to replace
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Petroleum

Explanation:

Like all fossil fuels, petroleum is a nonrenewable energy resource. This means that it is a resource that cannot be replaced as quickly as humans use up existing supplies. Humans face a problem because once petroleum reserves begin to run out, there won't be enough fuel to power all the automobiles in the world.
