Aerobic respiration is a biological process that takes energy from glucose and other organic compounds to create a molecule called Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP). ATP is then used as energy by nearly every cell in the body -- the largest user being the muscular system. Aerobic respiration has four stages: Glycolysis, formation of acetyl coenzyme A, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain.
The first step of aerobic respiration is glycolysis. This step takes place within the cytosol of the cell, and is actually anaerobic, meaning it does not need oxygen. During glycolysis, which means breakdown of glucose, glucose is separated into two ATP and two NADH molecules, which are used later in the process of aerobic respiration.
The next step in aerobic respiration is the formation of acetyl coenzyme A. In this step, pyruvate is brought into the mitochondria to be oxidized, creating a 2-carbonacetyl group. This 2-carbon acetyl group then binds with coenzyme A, forming acetyl coenzyme A. The acetyl coenzyme A is then brought back into the mitochondria for use in the next step.
The third step of aerobic respiration is called the citric acid cycle -- it is also called the Krebs cycle. Here, oxaloacetate combines with the acetyl coenzyme A, creating citric acid -- the name of the cycle. Two turns of the citric acid cycle are required to break down the original acetyl coenzyme A from the single glucose molecule. These two cycles create an additional two ATP molecules, as well as six NADH and two FADH molecules.
The final step in aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain. In this phase, the NADH and FADH donate their electrons to make large amounts of ATP. One molecule of glucose creates a total of 34 ATP molecules.

<span><span>There are a lot of created theories in which biologists engaged themselves to explain such phenomenon that occurred thousands of years ago, and experts say such study is hard to replicate, the start of prokaryote cells. Prokaryotes were said to be the first organisms that existed and were able to exhibit photosynthesis that produced oxygen that spread across the atmosphere. Hence, consider the Theory of Spontaneous formation of organic moleculeswhich suggests that the early earth had less to none oxygen. Thus, the atmosphere was abundant with the gases, CO2 and N2 with some other small amounts of H2, H2S, and CO. Hence, in Stanley Miller’s experiment when electrical sparks or “lightning” came in contact with these gases, the newly formed mixtures of CH4, NH3, and H2 were catalyzed. With these newly formed gases in interaction with H2O came the first synthesized some amino acids that compromised the earliest organic molecules which evolved to macromolecules, to be organelles of a cell. Which in the latter macromolecules are in today, maybe have been before the early nucleic acids (able to replicate) or proteins of these early cells.</span>
