Yes. Not yours, but there are plenty of life forms the do not require oxygen.

Could a cell live without a nucleus?

No


Why is a cell so important?

A cell is important because you could not live without them.


Why is nucleas the most important to the cells?

Because it is like the control center to the cell. without it, the cell could not live.


What is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration'?

Oxygen is required to live without it we die


What are synonyms of mitochondria?

Mitochondria are referred to as the "power houses" of cells. Without them, cells would not have the energy to function and live.


Could a cell live without a nucleolus?

A cell would die without its nucleus as it is its "brain" which controls the cell. Only human red blood cells have no nuclei after maturity.


Could a cell live without an endoplasmic reticulum?

No, a cell could not live without an endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is essential for protein and lipid synthesis, processing, and transport within the cell. Without this organelle, the cell would not be able to properly function and would eventually die.


What would happen if the cell didn't have a mitochondria?

Your cells would die. The mitochondria is the "power house" of the cell, it is what gives you energy. If a cell for some reason losses its mitochondria, itll be extremely weak and eventually dieAll cells rely on a chemical called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to provide energy for all cellular processes. The Mitochondria produce ATP through cellular respiration. Without the Mitochondria, sufficient ATP would not be produced. Without ATP, the cellular equipment in cells is insufficient to meet the conditions necessary to be considered alive. In short, the cell would die.Since the mitochondria are an essential organelle in a cell, removing them would not be good at all. Mitochondria serve as the cell's power plant, and without them the cell would have no way to get its energy, and it would probably shut down.The cell would quickly die out and so would the mitochondria. The mitochondria were probably free living aerobic bacteria and cells were anaerobic. At some point in time, the mitochondria were incorporated into the cell and both are endosymbiotic to each other, meaning the have a dependance on each other and cannot live without each other. The cell would die because a majority of previously available ATP would not be there anymore and the mitochondria would die because they no longer have a source of oxygen or glucose.it would die because it would not be able to produce power.sine it is the power house.it will die because it looses its energy and without energy the organelles inside of the cell won't be able to do its job or work.If all mitochondria in an animal were to disappear the animal would cease to exist. They are responsible for the cell cycle. Without them cell division would cease to happen.


What is the funtion of mitochondria in a cell?

Wow, im studying this currently. The mitochondria helps the cell live and function as it is the cell's power source. It breaks down certain molecules and creates this material called ATP, which the cell uses for energy to move and be active.


How many mitochondria are in each cell?

The number of mitochondria varies depending on the type of cell. They are most abundant in liver cells with about 1000 to 2000 mitochondria per cell.There are about 50 -100 per cell


Mitochondrion what would happen if it did not function properly?

A zygote would not pass its "self-test". Embryos screen for several genetic conditions, including impotent mitochondria. The lysosomes of the developing child will explode and apopstosis or "programmed cell suicide" will occur. Theoretically however, an organism could live for a short time without mitochondria. We would just undergo anaerobic respiration but eventuall atrophy from the lactic acid by product. Please read about the Electron transport chain (to understand the importance of mitchondrion) and feel free to comment me if you would like a copy of an article I recently wrote about it.


How does the function of a mitochondria?

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration. They have their own DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to make some of their own proteins. Mitochondria also play a role in regulating cell metabolism and cell death.
