- Oxygen needed;
- Exothermic reaction;
- Produces Carbon Dioxide and water
- It requires a continuous supply of oxygen and fuel to sustain itself - the fuel being glucose.

The previous answer is spot-on but since it was flagged, I'll just add an example to help clarity.
Let's look at a general equation for aerobic respiration:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O
It becomes clear that this is also a combustion (burning) reaction. We need O2 for it, see the left-side of the equation.
It produces energy - we can see this intuitively since burning things gives us heat and eating C6H12O6 (Glucose, a sugar) gives us energy.
The equation shows us it creates CO2 and H2O, which all combustions do.
And yes, O2 and the fuel (C6H12O6 in this case) are needed in continuous supply for this to continue occurring.
For the sake of comparison, here is a balanced equation for the combustion of Methane gas, like on a gas cooker. See the similarities!
CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H2O

Cells aquire food energy through a process called cellular respiration. This can be aerobic (with Oxygen as the final electron acceptor) or anaerobic (with some other organic molecule like pyruvate as the final electron acceptor). Aerobic respiration can be further broken down into the steps of 1. Glycolysis 2. Pyruvate Oxidation 3. Krebs Cycle 4. Electron Transport Chain It can also take place as photosynthesis but that is a slightly different mechanism Anaerobic Respiration can take place where there is no oxygen available(such as insidee muscles). This is called fermentation(yes the same kind we have to thank for alcohol...God bless anaerobic bacteria).
Unfortunately, it is not a physical/reversible change, as combustion causes chemicals to change their bonding. A simpler example than wood would be glucose (the same reaction as in respiration): C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O This reaction is not reversible.
it comes from foood like buiscuitand other protein food.
Both: mitochondria, golgi bodies, rough/smooth endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm,cell membrane, lysosomes, nucleus, ribosomes, nucleolus, Plants: cell wall, chloroplasts, large central vacuole Animal: Centrioles
Aerobic respiration is like burning because both processes involve a series of chemical reactions that release energy from the breakdown of organic molecules (such as glucose) using oxygen. In both cases, carbon dioxide and water are produced as byproducts.
Aerobic respiration liberates the most energy in the form of ATP compared to other cellular processes like anaerobic respiration and fermentation.
Just like a human being, a rat has aerobic respiration. An aerobic respiration is the type where oxygen is required to convert food to energy.
Aerobic respiration is the respiration that requires oxygen. It needs oxygen in order to generate ATP. Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen.
Aerobic roughly means "requiring air," with "air" meaning oxygen. The suffix "ana-" means to take the opposite, much like "un-" or "dis-". Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and anaerobic respiration does not.
Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration but not for fermentation. Aerobic respiration utilizes oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain to produce ATP, while fermentation produces ATP without using oxygen by fermenting sugars into organic molecules like ethanol or lactic acid.
No. Aerobic respiration is WITH oxygen. ANaerobic is without. Generally anaerobic process is fermentation, but that doesn't produce nearly as much ATP, and is therefore unfavorable for anything big, like people or animals.
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and produces energy through fermentation. Aerobic respiration is more efficient, producing more ATP molecules than anaerobic respiration.
No, aerobic cellular respiration produces more energy than anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration (like fermentation) produces just 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, while aerobic respiration produces up to 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
aerobic respiration basically its first step is called glycolysis and is further divded in two forms either aerobic which occur in presence of o2 and anaerobic in absences of oxygen Exactly so to answer the question the process the REQUIRES O2 is aerobic respiration like i said.
When the muscle cells have insufficient oxygen, lactic acid is fermented to provide energy. This is the familiar burning sensation like "stiches".
anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain
