The word used to describe respiration that uses oxygen is "aerobic respiration".
Explanation
- Aerobic respiration is the process by which cells use oxygen to break down glucose and other nutrients to release energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
- It occurs in the presence of oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
- Aerobic respiration is contrasted with anaerobic respiration, which does not use oxygen.
