Why was the development of aerobic cellular respiration a significant event in the evolution of life on earth?

The endosymbiosis of the mitochondria created a cell that depends on the aerobic respiration orchestrated by the mitochondria itself, which made it possible to compose a group composed of relatively more developed episodes than those of the anaerobic species.

Aerobic respiration has a higher energy yield, and is less expensive in fuel (carbohydrates), which has allowed aerobic species to evolve over time.

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
