Do humans carry both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

No, humans do not carry out photosynthesis. Instead, humans rely on cellular respiration to convert nutrients into energy. Photosynthesis is a process unique to plants, algae, and some bacteria, where they convert sunlight into energy.


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.


What kind of organisms carry out respiration?

Anaerobes like archaebacteria and other microorganisms


How do bacteria obtain energy to carry out functions?

Like all organisms, bacteria need a constant supply of energy to carry out their functions. This energy comes from food The process of breaking down food to release its energy is called respiration.


What is anaerobic respiration in vinegar making?

Anaerobic respiration in vinegar making refers to the conversion of sugars in the fruit juice into acetic acid by certain bacteria, such as Acetobacter. During this process, the bacteria do not require oxygen and instead use a different electron acceptor to carry out respiration. This allows the bacteria to convert the sugars into vinegar in the absence of oxygen.


Differences between anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration?

Aerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria with oxygen. Glucose + Oxygen --> Energy + Water + Carbon Dioxide Anaerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria without the presence of oxygen.

Humans carry cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Humans carry out cellular respiration to generate ATP for energy production. Photosynthesis is a process performed by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert sunlight into energy. Humans cannot perform photosynthesis as we lack the necessary organelles, such as chloroplasts.


Plants algae animals and bacteria use oxygen for?

Plants, algae, animals, and bacteria use oxygen for the process of cellular respiration, which is the conversion of oxygen and glucose into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. This process provides organisms with the energy they need to carry out various physiological functions.


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.


Bacteria that do not require aerobic respiration?

Bacteria that do not require aerobic respiration are known as anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria can survive and grow in the absence of oxygen by using alternative electron acceptors in anaerobic pathways such as fermentation or anaerobic respiration. Examples of anaerobic bacteria include Clostridium and Methanogens.


How do bacteria differ from anaerobic bacteria?

aerobic bacteria use oxygen based respiration, anaerobic bacteria use either nonoxygen based respiration (e.g. nitrogen, sulfur) or fermentation.
