Summary Introduction
Introduction: Oxidizing an organic molecule breaks the covalent bonds of carbon backbone. Aerobic respiration generates the ATP molecule by oxidizing glucose. Cells also harvest energy from other molecules such as fats, complex carbohydrates, and proteins in food can be converted to molecules that enter aerobic respiration at various stages. First, the
