Olive Hanson · Answer 2

The correct answer is option B. "a process of energy conversion that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen, forming new compounds".

Explanation:

Aerobic cellular respiration is a biological processes performed mainly by eukaryotic cells at the mitochondria. Basically, aerobic cellular respiration is a process of energy conversion that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen, forming new compounds. During aerobic cellular respiration glucose, the main fountain of food energy, is broken down in the presence of oxygen into Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that carries energy to most biological processes.
