Chapter 6.2, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that why the steps of respiration occur step-by-step instead of all at once.
Concept introduction:
The process in which energy required for cellular functions is released in the presence of oxygen is called as aerobic respiration. It is a multistep process in which the body cells break down food in mitochondria to release energy. ATP is the form of energy released by

Why do the reactions of respiration occur step-by-step instead of all at once?
In aerobic respiration, does inhaled molecular oxygen (O2) combine chemically with carbon to produce CO2? If so, explain when this occurs. If not, describe the fate of O2 and the production of CO2.
In nature, there are some organisms that are unable to perform aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen. What could be the possible reason(s) behind this phenomenon?
