| 10163299386 | Aerobic metabolism | The cellular process in which oxygen is used to metabolize glucose. Energy is produced in an efficient manner with minimal waste |  | 0 |
| 10163299387 | Anaerobic metabolism | the cellular process in which glucose is metabolized into energy without oxygen. Energy is produced in an inefficient manner with many waste products. | | 1 |
