What is the process in which glucose and oxygen react in cells to release energy?
inhaling
Does graphite react with oxygen or air?
Yes, graphite reacts with oxygen but not at room temperature. The temperature has to be quite high ;)
What is the process by which oxygen and glucose react to release energy in the body cells?
Respiration. Glucose (C6H12O6) plus oxegen (O) = The Breathing Motion Hope this Helps Jimmy Neutron
How do plant cells release the energy they need to live?
During cellular respiration, sugar starts to be broken down through series of reactions that take place mostly in the mitochondria.The process makes carbon dioxide and water, and releases energy.
Is oxygen a nutrient?
It depends on how you define nutrient. Oxygen is an oxidizing agent. The foods you eat are generally reducing agents. Reducing agents and oxidizing agents react to form new compounds with the release of energy. I suppose it could be considered a nutrient but this term is usually used for the energy containing component of food.
What structure is where food and oxygen react to release energy?
mitochondrion - singular mitochondria - plural
What is the structure where the food and oxygen react to relesae energy?
The mitochondrion
Does oxygen produce energy under combustion?
Oxygen can react with other elements and release energy.
What is the process in which glucose and oxygen react in cells to release energy?
inhaling
Why is water not considered a fuel?
A fuel is a chemical substance that can react with the oxygen in air to form new substances and release energy. Water can not react with the oxygen in air as it is already an oxide. It has no molecular energy stored in it to release.
What is the motochondria?
Mitochondria is an organelle. It's where food and oxygen react to release energy.
Plants need oxygen to release the energy in the food that they make?
plant need oxygen to release the energy in the food that they make because the oxygen molecule react with hydogen to produce water in the light reaction which takes place inside the leave
Why methane does not react with oxygen at room temperature?
Energy! Methane is a stable molecule and oxygen is almost (pretty) stable. The there is sufficient energy, called activiation energy, then the two gases will react
Oxygen react inside a cell's mitochondria to produce carbon dioxide water and energy?
Glucose react with oxygen. That is to produce energy
Does gold not react with oxygen in the air because it conducts heat?
Gold does not react with oxygen because of its atomic structure which makes it very stable. As it is entirely stable, there is no need for it to react with oxygen to gain stability. Conduction of heat has nothing at all to do with it. Iron is an excellent conductor of heat but reacts readily with oxygen.
Why can you not use oxygen in compounds to breathe?
Our metabolisms take advantage of a reaction between oxygen gas and compounds such as glucose to release energy. Oxygen compounds do not contain the same energy and do not react in quite the same way with other substances, so we cannot use them. Most substances that are as reactive as oxygen are toxic, but we have adapted specifically to be able to use oxygen.
What is process in which glucose and oxygen react in cells to release energy is called?
Its either Photosynthesis or cellular respiration
