Answer:
cellular respiration
Explanation:
All exergonic processes produced in the cell, through which substances oxidize and chemical energy is released, are grouped under the name of cellular respiration, but to break down an organic molecule the cells employ, mainly dehydrogenations that can be carried carried out in the presence or absence of atmospheric O2 oxygen. There are therefore two types of breathing: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The latter also called fermentation.
Aerobic respiration (oxidative phosphorylation)
- Use molecular O2.
- It degrades glucose to CO2 and H2O
- Exergonic
- Recovers about 50% of chemical energy
- Present in most organisms.
- It uses enzymes located in the mitochondria.
