aerobic
Using sustained oxygen
Aerobic describes processes or activities that require oxygen.
Aerobic exercise—running, swimming, cycling—elevates heart rate and breathing to increase oxygen flow: I try to do thirty minutes of aerobics every morning.
In biology, aerobic organisms or processes depend on oxygen to function, as opposed to anaerobic ones that don't.
