What is Aerobic Respiration?
It’s how our body makes energy using oxygen.
How it works:
We eat food (like sugar or glucose).
We breathe in oxygen.
Inside our cells, the food and oxygen combine to make energy.
This process also makes carbon dioxide and water as waste.
We breathe out the carbon dioxide.
Simple Formula:
Food (glucose) + Oxygen → Energy + Carbon dioxide + Water
Why it’s important:
Gives us energy to move, grow, and stay alive.
Happens in every cell of our body.
Needs oxygen – that’s why breathing is important!
