Oxygen is a highly reactive chemical element. In the universe, it is the third most abundant element. Two atoms of oxygen combine together to form dioxygen. Most of the prokaryotes carry out aerobic cellular respiration whereas; some are not able to use oxygen. It is suggested that about half of the oxygen in the world is generated by prokaryotes.

Question

Definition Definition Set of metabolic processes and reactions that produce energy from organic substances such as glucose. Cellular respiration takes place in the organism’s cells, where the chemical energy from nutrients or molecules of oxygen is converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration; in the absence of oxygen, it is called anaerobic respiration.
