Aerobic respiration is the production of energy in the presence of oxygen using glucoseThe chemical equation for aerobic respiration is as follows:C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (energy)Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP (energy)Four key steps:Glycolysis - splitting of a glucose molecule into two pyruvate moleculesLink reaction - converting pyruvate into Acetyl CoAKrebs Cycle - Acetyl CoA goes through the cycle to produce electron carriers (FADH2 and NADH)Electron transport chain - electron carriers used to create a build up of H+ ions to be used by ATP synthase to create ATP
