Oxygen
Because cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen.
Aerobic because they go through cellular respiration.
Some forms of cellular respiration may be referred to as aerobic respiration because OXYGEN is used in the process. Those forms wherein oxygen is NOT used are referred to anaerobic respiration.
Because it requires oxygen
The steps of cellular respiration is different when it is anaerobic respiration compared to aerobic respiration. The main difference is because aerobic respiration uses oxygen and anaerobic uses other elements but the other steps are similar.
Cellular respiration, or aerobic cellular respiration, is exergonic because energy is released from the breakdown of glucose and therefore the products have less energy then the starting substance.
Aerobic cellular respiration produces a net gain of 36 ATP per glucose molecule. Anaerobic respiration produces a net gain of 2 ATP per glucose molecules.Aerobic cellular respiration produces 15 times more energy from sugar than anaerobic cellular respiration. :-)
Because it needs Oxygen to function.
aerobic
Generally it will occur in the presence of oxygen, which is aerobic respiration, but there are other times where no oxygen will be present and cellular respiration will occur anaerobically (fermentation). Aerobic respiration is more beneficial because you produce more ATP than anaerobically.
Aerobic respiration is the type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen. This process involves the release of glucose for energy.Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to be present because it is the final electron acceptor at the end of the electron transport chain. If it is not present, then the electron can not go through the chain and fermentation will cycle instead. Fermentation is much more inefficient in producing ATP (a differenence of 32 ATP).
It's called that because it needs oxygen
