What is the name of an organism that requires oxygen?

Organisms which need oxygen are called aerobic organisms or aerobes. The oxygen is used in the process of respiration to release energy from food. Organisms which do not use oxygen in respiration are called anaerobic organisms or anaerobes. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_organism


Which organisms release oxygen into the air as part of the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle?

Green plants.


What is the term used to describe organisms that capture solar energy and release oxygen?

hetertrophs


Organisms that use oxygen?

Aerobic organisms use oxygen.


Did organisms that require oxygen exist before photosynthetic organisms?

It would be impossible for oxygen requiring organisms to exist before photosynthetic organisms because there was not oxygen in the atmosphere for these organisms to breathe. Photosynthetic organisms take carbon dioxide and water in and create oxygen as waste. Before these photosynthetic organisms existed there was not enough or any oxygen in the atmosphere for organisms requiring oxygen to survive.


What organisms require oxygen for respiration?

Aerobic organisms require oxygen.


What happens to the gas that produced by photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis results in the release of oxygen in the air. It becomes the oxygen that we humans, and other organisms, inhale for cellular respiration.


Do organisms take oxygen from the air and the water?

Yes organisms take oxygen from the air and aquatic organisms take oxygen from the water using their gills. Some do. Most only from one or the other. For example a tuna fish gets pretty much all its oxygen from oxygen dissolved in water. Humans get all our oxygen from the air. Mudskippers get oxygen from both. Yes. Land animals take in oxygen that plants release using their noses. On the other hand, aquatic or marine animals take in oxygen using their gills.


How do organisms at deep sea vents survive without oxygen?

These organisms do not need oxygen. They are called anaerobes.


What do organisms do with the oxygen they absorb from the air?

Organisms use the oxygen they absorb from the air for their cells. The cells need this oxygen in order to carry out their functions.


What is the waste product for plants of photosynthesis?

Oxygen is an important by-product (not waste) of photosynthesis and is needed by not only animals and other organisms, but also the plants which make it.


Organisms get their oxygen from?
