only animals undergo respiration, it is the act of supplying tissues with oxygen through a gas exchange interface (lungs/gills). Plants undergo transpiration (movement of gases through the vascular body and/or stomas). While bacteria (and any other unicellular organism) have no need for respiration, they instead undergo osmotic gas exchange as they are bathed in their external environment as opposed to animal tissues which are highly specialized and predominantly internal.

Respiration is common to all living matter.So bacteria are also respiring
Wiki User
∙ 13y agono they do not since they are anaerobic, they do not need oxygen, and cellular respiration requires oxygen
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoYes,of course they must respire. They should respire to obtain energy
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, absolutely, this is the main and only way Life functions are 'provided for'.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoyes bacteria carry out respiration.
Bacteria also a living oraganism.So they need to respire for survival
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoBacteria are cells. They MUST perform cellular respiration.

Latic acid fermentation occurs in?
occurs in the human body, this is caused by a succesion of anaerobic respiration, therefore not enough energy can be created due to the fact that there is a lack of oxygen to break those energy cells, therefore in order to somewhat 'compensate' the body fermentates the bi-products which are unable to carry on to further create energy for the body use. therefore latic acid is made- this is also the reasoning behind cramps etc. due to the fact anaerobic cellular respiration is occuring therefore not enoungh energy is created by the cells in order for movement or vital life processes.
Which of the 5 kingdoms contain organisms that carry out Photosynthesis and respiration?
Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia
How do chemosynthetic bacteria make their food?
Some chemosynthetic bacteria live in very remote places on Earth, such as volcanic vents on the deep-ocean floor and hot springs in Yellowstone Park. Other live in more common places, such as tidal marshes along the coast.
Organisms whose cells have no visible nucleus?
Certain bacteria and viruses carry their DNA in little rings rather than in chromosomes, so don't have a distinct nucleus like larger organisms.
What life processes do microorganisms carry out?
Microorganisms are living things and like all living things carry out the 7 life processes. Micro organisms include virus, bacteria, protozoa and fungi. There are debates regarding the classification of virus as a living organism.Movement: some microbes move around freely on their own. They can be carried from place to place by wind, water or other organisms.Reproduction: mcroorganisms like bacteria and yeast reproduce by cell division. some like fungi also produces spores.Sensitivity: Most microbes would move away from light. They would also move towards water or moist condition. Generally, they move away from hostile conditions to favourable conditions.Growth: microbes grow from small sizes to larger sizes. Growth can easily be observed in mushroom, a fungus.Respiration: release of energy from organic materials. in the presence of oxygen, microbes respire to release carbon dioxide and energy (aerobic respiration). However, in the absence of oxygen, microbes respire to release ethanol and some energy.Excretion: microbes release unwanted waste materials such as carbon dioxide from body surfaces through the process of diffusion or through other structures.Nutrition: most microbes are parasites. For example virus depend on a living host to feed and carry out all live processes. Fungi can live as parasites or saprophytes.
Would archeabacteria be able to carry out cellular respiration?
anaerobic bacteria
How do bacteria carry out respiration?
Bacterial metabolism is based on anaerobic fermentation not aerobic respiration.
What are important for the growth of bacteria?
In order for any organism to continue to live and reproduce it needs to carry out the biological function of cellular respiration. So oxygen, glucose or sugar are definitely needed. In some cases though bacteria does not need oxygen if it can carry out anaerobic respiration.
How does respiration differ from cellular respiration?
fermentation is entirely anaerobic wheras cellular respiration only has 1 out of 3 stages that is anaerobic, the other 2 being aerobic (need oxygen to carry out rweactions. from this you can tell what anaerobic must mean:) i hope this helps:D
What kind of organisms carry out respiration?
Anaerobes like archaebacteria and other microorganisms
What organism is not going to carry out cellular respiration?
I guess your question implies to "oxygen" when you mean "respiration". As said before, anaerobic bacteria such as sulphate reducing bacteria (Desulfovibrio as an example) use sulphur to make ATP or energy.
Do humans carry both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
No, humans don't carry out photosynthesis. But, they do carry out cellular respiration.
Is an anaerobic bacterium an organism that will carry out cellular respiration?
Yes, in a sense Cellular respiration is just another term for METABOLISM - The Process of Life. Metabolism will use either of the Respiratory Processes - aerobic or anaerobic {with or without Oxygen} - to make the mandatory energy molecule Atp. Photosynthesis is an aerobic way to provide energy, and Chemosynthesis is the anaerobic way - using, say H2S as the electron donor {instead of say CH4} to produce energy [via the production of Atp] to provide Glucose for Respiration. [It would appear that bacteria at deep-sea-thermal-vents use sulfur to make glucose for Standard Respiration].
What is cellular respiration performed by?
All living things are capable of anerobic respiration to some extent. It happens when there is insufficent oxygen to the task at hand. For instance when you work-out at the gym and get sore muscles - the soreness is (in part) due to the presence of Latic Acid in you, a by-product of anerobic respiration. Some organisms use anaerobic respiration exclusively: decomposing bacteria and fungi.
What type of organisms does Cell Respiration occurs in?
organisms that do cellular respiration are bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
What does he mitochondria do?
carry out cellular respiration
Do cells of alveolar is lungs also respire oxygen to carry out cellular respiration?
Yes, they do use oxygen to carry out cellular respiration.
