Oxygen is required for ATP generation. However, that oxygen need not be in elemental form. Many organisms can obtain oxygen by breaking down oxygen-containing chemicals, like sugars and alcohols.

∙ 15y agoYes, but it is a small amount of ATP. Only about 2 ATP are produced per molecule of glucose in glycolysis. If there is no Oxygen present, The Pyruvate produced in glycolysis undergoes fermentation to regenerate the NAD+ used in glycolysis.

∙ 14y agoYes. Through process known as glycolysis, the cell can produce ATPs, although it is very minimal. While glycolysis produces 2 ATP molecules in one cycle, the complete cellular respiration (including glycolysis) can produce up to 38 ATP molecules, which is substantially greater.

Which mitochrodria break down food molecules to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen?
No mitochondrion breaks down food molecules in the absence of oxygen. In the absence of oxygen, glycolysis followed by fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm.
What is the main purpose of fermentation reactions?
Fermentation is a pathway used under anaerobic conditions. It is needed to produce ATP when there is no oxygen present.
Oxygen react inside a cell's mitochondria to produce carbon dioxide water and energy?
Glucose react with oxygen. That is to produce energy
What would happen if glycolsis did not happen in a cell?
If glycolysis could not happen in a cell, the cell would not produce ATP molecules.
Yeast and bacteria respiration is carried out and 2 ATP molecules are produced in the absence of?
oxygen
How can a skeletal muscle produce additional ATP when there is not enough oxygen?
Anaerobic fermentation enables a cell to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen but the ATP yield is very limited and the process produces a toxic end product, lactic acid, which is a major factor in muscle fatigue.
What is the name of the process that releases energy from food by producing ATP in the absence of oxygen?
Glycolysis and Fermentation both produce ATP in the absence of oxygen. These are both part of Anaerobic Respiration.
Why is it necessary to release energy stored in glucose in small amounts?
In the absence of oxygen, however, an anaerobic process can produce small amounts of ATP to keep the cell from dying.
Which nutrient can be used to produce energy in the absence of oxygen?
Glucose is anaerobic turns into atp and it can be used for energy without oxygen
Which mitochrodria break down food molecules to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen?
No mitochondrion breaks down food molecules in the absence of oxygen. In the absence of oxygen, glycolysis followed by fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm.
What is the main purpose of fermentation reactions?
Fermentation is a pathway used under anaerobic conditions. It is needed to produce ATP when there is no oxygen present.
The breakdown of glucose into ATP in the absence of oxygen is?
fermentation
Cell produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of what?
Oxygen. Without oxygen, the cell must result to anaerobic respiration, which produces much less ATP and has lactic acid as a byproduct, which is harmful if it builds up.
Oxygen react inside a cell's mitochondria to produce carbon dioxide water and energy?
Glucose react with oxygen. That is to produce energy
What would happen if glycolsis did not happen in a cell?
If glycolysis could not happen in a cell, the cell would not produce ATP molecules.
Yeast and bacteria respiration is carried out and 2 ATP molecules are produced in the absence of?
oxygen
Cells produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of what molecule?
Oxygen. Cells can produce much more ATP from glucose in the presence of Oxygen (aerobic respiration) than without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) in a process called oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in the mitochondria of cells. In the presence of oxygen one glucose can be broken down to produce 36 ATP Without oxygen, only 4 ATP can be made
