Respiration allows humans and a number of other organism to exchange gases between the body and the environment. Specifically, humans, upon inhalation, gain the chemical Oxygen. Oxygen is used in many cellular processes that allow for the creation of energy that we use in our every day metabolic processes. After Oxygen is "transformed" into energy, Carbon Dioxide is exchanged and exits when you exhale. Does that make sense?

∙ 14y agoWhen active your cells need Oxygen and Glucose, Amino acids and Fatty acids [i.e. biochemical energy] to convert it to another "type" of energy, that can be used for biological reactions. Someone could call it molecular energy stored in the molecule ATP. Apart from organisms [like ours] that use oxygen as a final electron acceptor in respiration [which are described as aerobic], there are also those that do not use oxygen and are referred to as anaerobic.

What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.
What vitamin is needed for respiration in cells?
Vitamin C is needed for respiration in cells.
Respiration takes place in the cells of most organisms?
Cellular respiration takes place in all cells. However, aerobic cellular respiration does not take place in all cells. Many cells undergo anaerobic cellular respiration.
Where in the cell does the aerobic cellular respiration occur or take place?
Prokaryotic and animal cells. As well as plant cells which preform Cellular Respiration after photosynthesis. Basically, all living organisms perform Cellular Respiration.
Where in your body can you use anaerobic respiration?
In your muscle cells. In your case, the only fermentation your cells are going through is lactic acid fermentation (and not alcohol fermentation). Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen present, then your cells will go through aerobic respiration normally. However, there are times when your cells lack oxygen, as in intense exercise. When cells can do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it is called facultative respiration.
What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.
What vitamin is needed for respiration in cells?
Vitamin C is needed for respiration in cells.
Where respiration occurs?
Respiration occurs in the cells.
Respiration takes place in the cells of most organisms?
Cellular respiration takes place in all cells. However, aerobic cellular respiration does not take place in all cells. Many cells undergo anaerobic cellular respiration.
What cells does respiration take place in?
Cellular respiration takes place in all living cells , both prokaryotic cells and in eukaryotic cells.
Where in the cell does the aerobic cellular respiration occur or take place?
Prokaryotic and animal cells. As well as plant cells which preform Cellular Respiration after photosynthesis. Basically, all living organisms perform Cellular Respiration.
Does respiration happen in all cells including plant cells?
Only respiration happens in both.
Do plant cells carry on respiration and photosynthesis?
Plant cells carry on photosynthesis, but they do not carry on respiration.
Do prokaryotic cells release energy by fermentation or by respiration?
respiration
What type of cells do respiration do?
Eukaryotic cells (Plant cells and animal cells)
What do cells do in aerobic respiration?
In all living cells.
Do plants cells or animal cells carry out cellular respiration?
Yes. Plants and animals need energy. Energy must therefore be made in the cells.No, only animal cells carry on cellular respiration.animal cells carryon cellular respiration. plant cells carry out photosynthesis which is the opposite of respiration.
