Respiration and the respiratory system in humans

?
In aerobic respiration, what happens to the food which is broken down?
Its energy is released for use

When does anaerobic respiration take place?
When oxygen is in short supply or absent and during intense activity

Lungs
Organ made up of bronchi, alveoli and the tissue surrounding them
