Glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids are completely broken down to form CO2 and H20 and to produce ATP.
Aerobic metabolism: metabolism in the presence of oxygen
Each molecule of glucose produces two molecules of ATP.
–Glucose is metabolized in this way when oxygen cannot be supplied quickly enough to the tissues to support aerobic
Anaerobic metabolism: metabolism in the absence of oxygen.
