What else can I help you with?
How is breathing essential to life?
Oxygen is required to break down food in order to get energy from food. Without oxygen, we'd have no energy and would not survive.
What does a cell use to break down food?
oxygen
How does yeast break down food without the use of oxygen?
the yeast uses anaerobic respiration instead which only needs glucose
What type of respiration that uses oxygen to break down food called?
Aerobic respiration is the type of respiration that uses oxygen to break down food molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP.
Which gas do plants and animals need to break down their food?
Oxygen
What plants need to break down and release energy to move its food to other plants?
the plant needs oxygen to break down and release energy to move its food
Why you respire?
People need to breathe in order to stay alive. All the cells in your body require oxygen to move, work and break down food, so without oxygen you will literally die.
What plant needs to break down and release energy to move it's food to other parts?
the plant needs oxygen to break down and release energy to move its food
Why do plants need oxygen to survive?
When a plant feeds on its own food, that food is broken down in the same way that it's broken down in an animals body (including yours): with oxygen. The oxygen is needed to break down the carbohydrate molecules and release the energy stored in those molecules. While a plant is photosynthesizing, its producing more than enough oxygen to break down its own food.
Does oxygen carry energy to cells or does it only burn food?
Oxygen is used to break down energy which is then used in cells.
What is an organims that uses oxygen to break down food to abtain energy?
An organism that uses oxygen to break down food to obtain energy is known as an aerobic organism. This process is called aerobic respiration, where glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide, water, and energy (in the form of ATP). Most animals, including humans, and many plants and fungi are aerobic organisms. In contrast, anaerobic organisms obtain energy without using oxygen.
All bacteria must use oxygen to break down food for energy?
False. While some bacteria are aerobic and require oxygen to break down food for energy (a process called cellular respiration), there are also anaerobic bacteria that can produce energy without the presence of oxygen through fermentation or other alternative pathways.
