Yes, and it does all the time, but some other energy source is required. For one thing, all animal cells undergo cellular respiration without photosynthesis, as do all anaerobic bacteria (yeasts, etc.), and many plants and animals that grow on thermal vents on the bottom of the ocean. Instead of getting energy from light, they use chemical energy (animals and yeasts) or geothermal (heat) energy, such as in the case of aquatic organisms on heat vents.

Could photosynthesis happen without cellular respiration?

No, because photosynthesis makes Glucose and cellular respiration breaks down the glucose into Carbon Dioxide and H20 (Water


Which waste products of cellular respiration are raleased into the environment and could be used in the process of photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide


Why could a loss of chlorophyll limit cellular respiration and plants?

There would be less glucose produced for respiration.


This is the process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen.?

The glycolysis and the Krebs cycle uses the oxygen to break down the food molecules in order to release energy.


Oxygen is what in cellular respiration?

Oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor in the transport system.It is the only oxidized agent strong enough to do this. Without oxygen, cellular respiration could not occur.


Where does a plant get its energy for photosynthesis and what is the energy transformed into after photosynthesis is complete?

They produce glucose which is then used for cellular respiration. (Glucose is chemical energy, it has high energy bonds, which when broken in cellular respiration produce a net of 38 ATP (adenosine triphophate))


Why is cellular respiration important organic organism?

Without it, they could not survive because this process makes energy.


Why is cellular respiration important to organic organisms?

Without it, they could not survive because this process makes energy.


What would happen if oxygen were not produced during photosynthesis?

If oxygen were not produced during photosynthesis then organisms could not perform cellular respiration. This means that they couldn't produce carbon dioxide which would make the plants unable to undergo photosynthesis.


What converts glucose into ATP?

Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is turned into energy. Without this process, cells would not be able to divide and reproduce, meaning humans and other animals could not survive.


Why is respiration important for life?

Cellular respiration is the process by which energy is released from food molecules and stored in molecules of ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Without ATP cells could not function.
