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?
