If by respiration you mean cell respiration, then yes oxygen is consumed in the process of cell respiration. As a matter of fact, oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, the last stage of cell respiration. In cell respiration, you produce ATP, which is essentially used by your body to get energy. That is why you need oxygen!

What gas do animals need to convert food into energy?
oxygen:DOxygenoxygen
Does respiration give us energy?
No. It is possible to have respiration in a pure carbon dioxide atmosphere and get no energy out of it. Respiration pulls oxygen into the system and it is the combination of this oxygen with other bodily chemicals that provides energy.
what substance do cells need to get energy from food?
When you become more active your cells need more oxygen and glucose, and when your body releases energy, glucose or other organic fuels in the presence of air is called aerobic respiration. aerobic respiration is in the absence of air.
What term refers to the production of energy by a cell without using oxygen?
The process of converting glucose (C6H1206) to energy in the form of ATP is known as anaerobic respiration in humans. The pathway involves glucose as a reactant yielding 2 lactic acids and 2 ATPs.
What word means turning food into energy?
It is cellular respiration Cellular respiration is when nutrients react with the oxygen in our cells, turning both of them into 'energy'.
Respiration with and without oxygen is called?
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen; anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen.
What substance does aerobic respiration use that anaerobic respiration does not use?
Oxygen
In what situation does anaerobic respiration takes place?
When there is no oxygen, or the organism cannot use oxygen for respiration.
How is cellular respiration and fermentation different?
Respiration uses oxygen, while fermentation does not use oxygen.
Cellular respiration involves the use of carbon dioxide or oxygen?
Cellular respiration uses oxygen.
When oxygen is not available for respiration cells use this process to release energy from gluecose?
that is anaerobic respiration. It does not require oxygen
Which process uses oxygen in plants algae and animals?
For starters, algae are plants. Plants never use oxygen. Animals use oxygen in the process of respiration. Decomposers use oxygen in the process of respiration when decomposing plants and animals including algae.
What type of respiration that bacterium Clostridium tetani would use?
It undergoes anaerobic respiration, so it does not use oxygen in respiration and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen when it is in its vegetative form.
What is the relationship between your muscles andanaerobic respiration?
you use oxygen in your muscles to do work and anaerobic respiration uses oxygen.
Which gas is needed by plants for respiration?
Oxygen is the gas that animals use in respiration. Plants use both oxygen and carbon dioxide. (This is assuming you mean cellular respiration.)
What is the common use for oxygen?
Aerobic cellular respiration is the most common use for oxygen.
What is the most important use for oxygen?
Respiration
