There are two types of respiration, aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
- aerobic respiration - this is respiration using oxygen
- anaerobic respiration - this is respiration without oxygen.
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen
Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide and water, and releases energy.
- The equation is [katex] C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ \text{Energy} [/katex].
- That's [katex] \text{glucose} + \text{oxygen} \rightarrow \text{carbon dioxide} + \text{water} + \text{Energy} [/katex]
