Humans need oxygen for the last step of cellular respiration, the process that generates energy to power cells. This is the only place oxygen is directly used in the body.
One important thing to note is that earlier stages of cellular respiration like glycolysis is anaerobic!

In cellular respiration the electron transport chains is an aerobic process because it cannot function without oxygen?
true because you need oxygen to breath
Why you need oxygen and carbon dioxide in cellular respiration?
You do not need Carbon Dioxide for cellular respiration, it is a by-product that is transported out through the lungs when you exhale. You need oxygen and glucose to perform cellular respiration and the equation is this: Glucose + Oxygen = energy + water + CO2
Why is external respiration vital to cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration need oxygen. This oxygen is supplied by external respiration
What iype of gas do humans need to breath?
Oxygen is the gas humans and animals need to breathe in.
How does man benefit from photosynthesis in plants?
humans benefit from photosynthesis, by receiving, obviously oxygen, which is required for cellular respiration, but plants also provide, glucose, which we heterotrophs need, to perform cellular respiration again, so we benefit by receiving oxygen and glucose, or O2 and C6H12O6.
What do you mean by 'oxygen is vital for life'?
That means that oxygen is necessary for life to survive. Humans need oxygen to breathe and use for cellular respiration.
How does an understanding of the process of cellular respiration support the theory that the cell is the basic functional unit of life?
Each individual cell needs energy and oxygen to survive, just as living things do. Cellular respiration explains why living organisms need oxygen and energy, and exactly where those resources go.
What is the relationship between digestion and respiration?
You need oxygen to convert food into energy and this process is called cellular respiration

Is it possible for humans to live longer and need less oxygen?
It may be possible for humans to live longer and need less oxygen at some time in the future, but it is not possible at this time. A human requires a certain amount of oxygen to maintain cellular function and although lifespan varies, most humans (even those who are long-lived) do not live past the age of about 90.
What is needed to transfer and release energy?
Cellular respiration is the process of converting and releasing energy. In order to do this, organisms need organic compounds and oxygen.
What does it mean to say that glycolysis is an aerobic process?
Cellular respiration sometimes is referred to as aerobic respiration, meaning that it occurs in the presence of oxygen, and is not an anaerobic process. Glycolysis is one of the processes in cellular respiration. In the final steps of glycolysis, two hydrogen atoms are removed from each three-carbon compound by bonding to free-floating oxygen atoms in the cytoplasm to form water.
How does man benefit from photosynthesis in plants?
humans benefit from photosynthesis, by receiving, obviously oxygen, which is required for cellular respiration, but plants also provide, glucose, which we heterotrophs need, to perform cellular respiration again, so we benefit by receiving oxygen and glucose, or O2 and C6H12O6.
Is chlorophyll needed in cellular respiration?
no. humans respire and they do not have chlorophyll. Respiration is the process of releasing energy from food. To do thi you need to have glucose (from the food) and oxygen. Chlorophyll comes into it because plants need to conduct photosynthesis to get glucose. The chlorophyll is needed for this process to happen.
