The cellular process in which oxygen is used with glucose to produce energy in an EFFICIENT manner.

Protein in blood; maintains the proper amount of water in the blood

Occurs when the demand for oxygen is greater than the body's ability to deliver it; alternative pathway converts glucose to pyruvic acid and produces a very small amount of ATP
