Aerobic cellular respiration is the cellular process of using glucose and oxygen to produce energy. This type of cellular respiration is much more efficient than the anaerobic process, since it produces 36 ATP (cellular energy) per cycle instead of just four. First, glucose enters the cytoplasm, where it is converted

Fermentation is a significant chemical process that occurs in our bodies. It is a way to get energy without oxygen, which is why it is called anaerobic, a term that means "occurring in the absence of free oxygen". Fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm, a liquid that fills the

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce oxygen. All life on Earth depends on photosynthesis because without it, we would not have oxygen. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air around them and water from the ground and use these elements to make oxygen. Plants have organelles in

Not all reptiles are big and strong enough to defend themselves, so they survive using camouflage. These reptiles have adapted to become almost invisible in their habitats. One example of a reptile that uses camouflage is the lizard known as the Phelsuma. This small lizard lives in palm trees. When
