Aerobic respiration produces ATP in mitochondria via oxidative phosphorylation and is suitable for endurance activities with sufficient oxygen.
Aerobic respiration generates ATP in mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation when oxygen is present, suitable for prolonged, lower-intensity exercise.
