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. =)
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in muscle cells when is in low supply?
Lactic acid fermentation occurs due to the lack of oxygen in the the muscle cells Aerobic respiration requires oxygen as an electron receiver to complete the electron transport system, so without it, the cells will be unable to undergo normal respiration and will resort to lactic acid fermentation
From where can a person get supply of oxygen for artificial respiration?
the machines whic are used to treat the patient takr out the oxygen from air which is provided to the patient
Why rigor mortis occurs?
Rigor mortis is caused by the loss of ATP. Oxygen is required for cellular respiration to provide ATP, but once the heart stops pumping, the supply of Oxygen stops. As a result, the muscles begin to decompose and harden. no ATP is available to release attached actin and myosin molecules
How are aerobic and anaerobic respiration similar?
Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence oxygen and creates a maximum of 38 ATP, while anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen and creates a maximum of 2 ATP. aerobic respiration has both substrate level and oxidative phosphorylation while anaerobic respiration has only substrate level phosphorlyation. also, but use glycolysis. in anaerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is an organic molecule such as pyruvate or acetaldehyde, but in respiration, the final acceptor is oxygen.
What is the main food supply for cellular respiration?
suger
From where can the person get supply of oxygen for artificial respiration?
A person can get the supply of oxygen for artificial respiration from the cylinders attached to the machines.
Why do your cells need a constant supply of glucose?
Cellular Respiration
Does water kills cell?
neurons die as a result of cessation of oxygen supply and dehydration causes blood viscosity. therefore if blood is viscous there would be poor oxygen supply to the brain because the hemoglobin in the blood carries the oxygen we require for cellular respiration.
What is the long term supply of glucose to cellular respiration?
291 he scored
How is fermentation and cell respiration different?
fermentation is the term for anaerobic respiration for bacteria, and yeast where ethanol is produced ( type of alcohol used for beverages like wine ).Cellular respiration is basically carbohydrates, fats and oils and proteins, that are broken down in cells to supply their energy.Aerobic respiration is different to anaerobicrespiration. Cellular respiration requires oxygen.Anaerobic respiration is where energy is produced quickly by burning carbohydrates etc, but without oxygen, and produces Carbon Dioxidechemical equation for cellular respiration:glucose+oxygen ---> carbon dioxide water +energyfrermantation is:glucose----> ethanol+carbon dioxide+energy
What cell structure needs oxygen to do its job?
In order for cellular respiration to take place, mitochondria must have oxygen. Mitochondria are the building blocks of the cell, and the cell cannot survive without it.
When is cellular respiration performed?
cellular respiration is preformed when the cells need to obtain energy from glucose.
Why do animals need a continuous supply of oxygen?
Animals need a continuous supply of oxygen because it obtains energy from their food. To acquire such energy from food, cells in animals require a steady supply of ATP in order to function. To produce this ATP, cellular respiration requires oxygen. Without ATP, cells and the organism will die so therefore, animals need a continuous supply of oxygen to survive.
