Yes.
In fact, all living organisms must respire. If a cell stops respiring, it dies.
Respiration in everyday speech means "breathing", but in Biology cellular respiration means taking a chemical substance that is energy-rich, such as a molecule of glucose, and breaking it down to release the energy from it. All animals do this, or they would not have the energy to resist decomposition. Quite simply, they would fall apart!
Animals have two main ways to break down glucose. A little energy comes from what is called anaerobic respiration, which means respiring without oxygen. We do this when we exercise hard, and make lactic acid in our muscles. The main way, though, is to break down the glucose completely to carbon dioxide and water, and obtain much more energy in the process. This needs oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration.

Which animal can respire in absence of oxygen?
There are quite a few animals that can respire in the absence of oxygen. One of these animals is the hippo.
What does the mitochondria do in a animal cell?
makes energy from the food its given. can be found in an animal cell and many others
Do all organism breath?
All organisms respire. Plants do not breathe, but they respire. Animals breathe to respire.
Can plants respire and photosynthesize at the same time?
Yes, the can photosynthesize and respire at the same time.
Why can't plants respire at day?
Plants need to photozynthesis during day does not enable them to respire.
Do animal cells respire?
Animal cells respire in order to refresh the blood cells with oxygen rich molecules. The oxygen is then transported to the rest of the body for muscle use.
Which animal can respire in vacuum?
none, because you need oxygen to respire and a vacuum is the absence of matter and oxygen is matter
Which animal can respire in absence of oxygen?
There are quite a few animals that can respire in the absence of oxygen. One of these animals is the hippo.
Does an animal or plant cell have mitochondria?
They are in both. Both need mitochondria to respire
Why is it important for plants to respire?
It is important for plants to respire because they convert Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen. Therefore Making the planet more hospitable to animal life.
Is any animal which can respire in vacuum?
Negative. Respiration requires air, which does not exist in a vacuum.
What is Animal Respiration?
It is how animals respire, or breathe. We humans respire with lungs. Not all animals have lungs. For example, fish have gills, which they use to respire. Frogs breathe through their skin. All mammals (animals with hair) have lungs though, so they breathe like we do.
What does the mitochondria do in a animal cell?
makes energy from the food its given. can be found in an animal cell and many others
Does your tortoise respire when it hibernates?
This is from wikipedia:Hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in animal, characterized by lower body temperature, slower breathing, and lower metabolic rate.slower breathing, so yes your tortoise does respire when it hibernates
How animal cells use mitochondria?
That is to produce to energy. It carry out respiration
What animal is using moist skin to breath?
Vertebrates like amphibians respire through skin though they have lungs and invertebrates like earthworm, leeches also respire through skin. To respire through skin it must be kept moist always. If you dry the skin in above all animals, they will die.
Do human respire?
Yes, humans do respire. Respiration is one of the seven life processes, you have to respire to live, humans are living things so they do respire.
