Only when your body cells run out of energy.

Can cellular respiration occur without photosynthesis?
Yes.Cellular respiration always need glucose. So if photosynthesis stops,organisms cannot respire
Do your body cells always use cellular respiration to break down glucose?
Not always, only when your body cells run out of energy.
What is aerobic cellular repiration?
A) glucose → lactic acid + energy B) energy + carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen + water C) glucose → ethyl alcohol + carbon dioxide + energy D) glucose + lactose → galactose + water E) glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy From sallydeath
Can an organism carry out cellular respiration without photosynthesis how about photosynthesis without cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is possible without photosynthesis in an organism but photosynthesis is not possible without cellular respiration.
What is cellular respiration and where it occurs in a cell?
Cellular respiration is a process that releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present. It takes place in the mitochondria. :) -Biology Textbook

What biological process carbon dioxide water glucose water oxygen This process is completed in what?
Glucose + oxygen ----> CO_2 + water ... cellular respiration CO_2 + water ---> Glucose + oxygen ... photosynthesis There's no point having water on both sides of the equation you can always reduce it to just one side. Cellular Respiration
The portion of aerobic respiration that produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose is?
Cellular RespirationSource: Holt Biology by Johnson Raven* Aerobic cellular respiration. Anaerobic cellular respiration yields a net gain of 2 ATP molecules for each glucose molecule broken down. Aerobic respiration yields a variable number, but always more than ten times as many ATP molecules.
Can an organism carry out cellular respiration without photosynthesis how about photosynthesis without cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is possible without photosynthesis in an organism but photosynthesis is not possible without cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration produces what?
If you think Cellular respiration and photosynthesis confuse you, think about yourself. What do you exhale when you breath. Cellular respiration relates to the " breathing" Your cells burn Glucose in order to function and in order to burn glucose you need O2 gas which you get it through inhaling. After when you exhale you produce CO2 + H2O which the plants will use in their photosynthesis process. A hint: Always when you see the word combustion or burning you will have this equation>>. The element you are given(x)+ O2-----> CO2+ H2O In one words cellular respiration produce CO2 and H2O
Why is the mitochondria the site of aerobic cellular respiration?
All the enzymes required for the aerobic respiration(respiration requiring oxygen) are present in mitochondria,thus it always takes place in mitochondria.However,anaerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm of cell because all the required enzymes are present in cytoplasm
What materials are produced by cellular respiration?
The cellular respiration equation is as follows:C6H12O6 + O2 = CO2 + H2O and for cells +ATPSo, you need C6H12O6, which is glucose and O2 which is oxygen. Not only glucose will help cellular respiration. You can also have proteins or lipids/fats to have it work. Glucose is what I was always taught. Hope this answers your question!
Is aerobic cellular respiration exergonic?
Yes, cellular respiration is an example of an exergonic reaction (releasing energy for usage) as opposed to photosynthesis (the plant's need the sun's energy to create glucose) an endergonic reaction.Why? Cellular respiration breaks down glucose molecules(which contain energy), so energy is released. The reactants start with a high level of energy(the reactants are whole glucose molecules) and the products are created with a low level of energy because energy is released. The energy that is released from this process can be used to perform work in the cell.No, it releases energy.
