When a candle burns, oxygen from the air chemically combines with the molecules of candle wax. Chemical energy stored in the wax is converted and released as heat and light energy. In a similar way, cells use oxygen to release the chemical energy stored in sugar molecules. This process is called respiration. Through respiration, cells obtain the energy needed for all life processes. Air breathing animals aren't the only organisms that need oxygen. Plants, some bacteria, algae,
fish, other organisms need oxygen for respiration.

What is the sum of all life process?
The sum of all life processes is metabolism.
Why is the Aerobic Respiration process important to the body?
Respiration is not the same as breathing. Breathing is called ventilation. On the other hand, respiration is a process, a chemical process where energy is released from substances such as glucose. To work, aerobic respiration needs oxygen and the energy created is used to allow muscles to contract in animals, and maintain a constant body temperature in mammals and birds.
Most of the energy released during respiration is used for the?
life processes
All the names of the seven life processes?
the maintanance functions of living organisms are called life processes. the seven life processes are : * movement * reproduction * sensitivity * nutrition * excretion * respiration * growth i wish this helps...
Why are oxidation reduction reactions important in organisms?
Cellular respiration is one example. This process is essential for glucose metabolism to create ATP for life.
Why are respiration digestion reproduction regarded as life processes?
catabolic process
What is the process by which plants release energy in food to carry on life processes?
Cellular respiration is the process by which plants release energy in food to carry on life processes. During cellular respiration, plants breathe through the cells in their leaves.
What is the sum of all life process?
The sum of all life processes is metabolism.
What do you mean by life process?
The processes which together perform the maintenance functions of the body are called life processes such as respiration,excretion,transportation etc; takes place.
Why are hydrogen ions important to life?
Hydrogen ions, H+ , are important to life because they're essential to the processes of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. The latter process is essential for all life. Chemiosmosis is the name given to the process of a flow of H+ causing some sort of energy flow.
The eight life processes. what are they?
actually the life processes are as follows: nutrition excretion digestion respiration reproduction & nervous system are not considered in life processes because if a person is not reproducing or if he/she is in coma ... he/she will not die they will still be alive so these two processes are not considered in life process.

What is the processes by which plants release energy to carry on life processes?
respiration
What are life process?
Life processes are the processes in which keep you alive and clarify you as an organism (living thing). The life processes are: respiration, circulation, excretion, nutrition, transport, growth/development and synthesis
What kind of energy drives all the processes important to life on earth?
The energy from the Sun, solar energy drives all the process important to life on Earth.
Which life process is related to the mitochondrion?
cellular respiration/respiration
Life processes in the human body?
Movement Reproduction Irritability Nutrition Excretion Respiration Growth
