NO. RESPIRATION IS NOT THE PROPER TERM.
Ventilation
is what you’re looking for
Respiration
is when glucose breaks down-
In
order to release energy to your cells
YES.
Although uncommon, other carbohydrates will suffice.
Internally
the respiration occurs
Within
the mitochondria, during stages one or two
In
the first- oxygen is not required
The
second-which is the main, it’s required, along strengthened cycles
Moral
of the story:
In some bacteria the oxidant is the nitrate
So
Learn
to ventilate
Before
air becomes a mystery-
A
McGuffin who can’t see the plots it drives.
