Do all living organisms generate ATP and produce carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

Every cell carries out cellular respiration. All organisms are made out of cells, even single celled organisms. The only organism that does not carry out cellular respiration is plants because the go through photosynthesis.

Answer 2

Yes, all living things give off carbon dioxide. Their decomposition eventually returns all carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. However, this does not add to the long-term level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, since this is simply part of the natural carbon cycle of taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and eventually returning it. The way to increase the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is to convert stored carbon into carbon dioxide. We do this when we burn fossil fuels or manufacture cement. Volcanoes also do this, but to a much lesser extent than human activities. We can also release the carbon stored in ancient forests by the process of deforestation.

Answer 3

Animals do not use CO2 directly, although it is needed to keep blood in a correct state. This is why hyperventilating (breathing far too rapidly) is bad, because it removes too much CO2 from the blood.

Plants, on the other hand, depend on CO2 as a source of energy. Using the process photosynthesis, they combine CO2 and water (using sun-light) to form the sugar glucose (C6H12O6), which can then be used as "food".

Answer 4

No. All organisms dont, like plants and trees for example, they use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.




Actually plants do use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide.
Plants need oxygen and glucose to respire (get energy). The key difference between plants and animals is that plants get their glucose by sticking carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules together, producing glucose and oxygen. This is a way of storing energy. Carbon dioxide is a low energy compound. Glucose is a high energy compound (lots of energy is given off when it is broken down). Plants use glucose as a way of storing light energy because light is not constantly available. However they can use glucose all the time.
There is a group of organisms called chemoautotrophs that use carbon dioxide, methane and other available chemicals to form all the chemicals they need. These organisms are usually bacteria or archaea living in extremely hostile environments. they have varying requirements so some may produce carbon dioxide or oxygen or both or neither.

Answer 5

Animal cells depend on respiration to make ATP.

Plant cells depend on photosynthesis to make ATP.

So no, not all organisms are dependent on respiration.

Edit: sorry, forgot that plant cells actually have a mitocondrion, which means they also carry out respiration.

Anyway, prokaryotic cells (Backteria Cells) do not have a mitocondrion, so they don't respirate.

Answer 6

Some actually use it as air, in the case of trees and plants during the day during photosynthesis. Animals breathe it out and plants do at night.

Answer 7

All living organisms generate ATP through aerobic respiration. However not all living organisms produce CO2.

Answer 8

Do all organisms use oxygen and produce carbon dioxide?

Answer 9

no not all....there are many different organisms
