Chapter 23, Problem 23.53P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the reaction occurring in stage [4] of catabolism to be known as aerobic respiration needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The term catabolism refers to a set of metabolic processes that are responsible for the breaking down of large molecules. This includes the breakdown and oxidation of larger food molecules. The term aerobic respiration refers to the production of cellular energy by the involvement of oxygen. The breaking down of the food by the cells in the mitochondrion by a long multistep process generates about 36 ATP molecules.
