Does oxygen have uses?
yes, respiration of course and a lot of oxidation processes
Is energy released more slowly in anaerobic respiration than aerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration that occurs when there is no enough oxygen in the respiratory cells. It is considered to be less efficient since it produces less energy as compared to aerobic respiration.
What is the name of the process of resperation that does not require oxygen?
anaerobic respiration there is also fermentation, which is like anaerobic respiration but does not have an electron transport chain
What is the main difference in anerobic and aerobic respiration?
The difference is that anaerobic is without oxygen and produces little energy and lactic acid. However aerobic respiration has oxygen to use and produces a lot of energy and no lactic acid,
Which gives the greater yield of ATP alcoholic fermintation or cellular respiration?
In aerobic respiration which incorporates oxygen, 36 molecules are produced per 1 molecule of glucose and in anaerobic respiration (fermentation) where no oxygen is incorporated, only 2 molecules are produced per 1 molecule of glucose
What would happen if there was no cellular respiration?
I presume you are referring to human's cellular respiration and not bacterial cellular respiration. With human's cellular respiration, you first have to understand that our body uses ATP (short for adenosine triphosphate) as the main source of fuel. It is ATP that helps our body to repair itself, to grow, and to eliminate basic toxins such as carbon dioxide. Second, the main source of ATP is glucose from breakdown of the food we eat. With that in mind, cellular respiration (also known as aerobic respiration) is the use of inhaled oxygen to more efficiently make ATP. With oxygen/ aerobic respiration, a cell's mitochondria power house can make 36 ATPs from one molecule of glucose via glycolysis + Kreb cycle + electron transfer chain pathway. Whereas without oxygen (aka anaerobic respiration), a cell stops at glycolysis making only 2 ATPs. As you can see, 36 vs. 2 ATPs is a big difference. A cell that is metabolically active and requires a lot of ATPs such as the neurons (brain cells), the myocardiocytes (heart cells), and the proximal tubule cells (kidney cells) will die off when the glucose supply is depleted from inefficient breakdown to produce ATPs. So in short, without cellular respiration, a cell will use anaerobic respiration, making 1/16 of normal ATPs, survive for 2 mins to hours (depending on the cellular activities and body temperature) then die off due to depletion of glucose source within the cell or die off due to activation of Fas self-suicide mechanism. Hope this answers your question. =)
What is the difference between the aerobic respiration and unaerobic respiration the presence and absence of oxygen?
Aerobic: 1. occurs in presence of oxygen. 2. CO2 and water is produced 3. lot of energy is liberated (38 ATP) 4.occurs in plants' and animals' cells 5. C6H12O6 --> CO2 + H2O + ATP ( Energy) Anaerobic: 1. occurs in absence of oxygen 2. Lactic Acid or Alchol is produced 3. relatively small energy is liberated (2ATP) 4. occurs in many anaerobic bacteria and human muscle cells. 5. in muscles, lactic acid is produced while bacteria as Yeast produces Alcohol (Ethanol) 6. C6H12O6 --> Lactic acid / C2H5OH + ATP
Why does every living organism depend on respiration?

Which energy releasing process would be best if you needed a lot of energy?
Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen, releasing energy through glucose and other foods. It is a form of respiration using electron acceptors other than oxygen.
What are two advantages of anaerobic respiration?
The main advantage to anaerobic respiration is that, unlike aerobic respiration which releases energy all at once, anaerobic respiration releases energy in short outbursts when necessary. (when muscle cells can't get enough oxygen) Therefore, your energy lasts a lot longer.
In what way is aerobic respiration like burning?
Both use a fuel and oxygen to release carbon dioxide and energy. The only major difference is that aerobic respiration releases energy a lot slower than burning does.
How are aerobic respiration anaerobic respiration different?
aerobic respiration uses oxygen and anaerobic doesn't; also aerobic produces more ATP or cellular energy***Apex: Oxygen is necessary for aerobic respiration but not for anaerobic respiration.
