Answer
When oxygen is provided to anaerobically respiring cells, the rate of CO2 evolution and glucose breakdown typically decreases. This is because the cell shifts to aerobic respiration, which is more efficient and produces fewer CO2 molecules per glucose molecule compared to anaerobic respiration.
