The complete conversion of glucose in the presence of oxygen into carbon dioxide and water with release of energy is called
- Aaerobic respirationCorrect
- Banaerobic respiration
- Cglycolysis
- Dhydrolysis
Explanation
Aerobic respiration is the process where cells use oxygen to break down glucose completely. This chemical reaction produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products and releases a large amount of energy in the form of ATP.
The other options are incorrect because anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen, glycolysis is only the initial stage of glucose breakdown that does not require oxygen or result in complete conversion, and hydrolysis is a chemical reaction involving water to break bonds rather than a respiratory process for energy release.
