Process that uses oxygen in the body?

respiration.........


Why do plants release oxygen if they need oxygen to perform cellular respiration?

The exact and Nebulous Answer is BIOCHEMISTRY.


Plenty of oxygen?

Plenty of oxygen will provide your lungs with enough air to perform respiration. Plenty of oxygen will allow combustion to occur, allow oxidation to occur. Your question needs more detail. Respiration Respiration (or just breathing) means the transport of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.


Does alcohol contain oxygen?

Strictly speaking, no, fermentation is the result of anaerobic (without oxygen) respiration of sugar by yeast. But its more complicated than that... Yeast requires oxygen for a number of processes essential for reproduction. Most fermentations involve the initial introduction of oxygen to ensure a strong yeast colony is established. And brewers yeast will ferment without using oxygen even if oxygen is available. Alcohol is toxic to many other organisms (and in high enough concentrations to yeast as well) and by converting sugar to alcohol it can prevent other organisms from getting established.


What happens when your muscles cells run out of oxygen?

Cells that do not require oxygen go through anaerobic respiration, which is a form of cellular respiration that uses fermentation to turn energy into useful energy. There are two types of anaerobic respiration, lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. Muscle cells do this when they run out of oxygen and go through fermentation instead. The product of this type of fermentation from muscle cells is lactic acid. Lactic acid is toxic and causes soreness and fatigue. Anybody who has been sore after exercise has experienced lactic acid fermentation.

Is alcoholic fermentation a special kind of respiration?

not really it just happens when there is no oxygen available for cellular respiration


What is the name of the process of respiration when oxygen is available?

When oxygen is not available for respiration cells use this process to release energy from gluecose?

that is anaerobic respiration. It does not require oxygen


What happens if an organism performs cellular respiration without oxygen?

Anaerobic respiration does not involve oxygen.


What happens to oxygen that is given off during the aerobic respiration cycle?

Oxygen is consumed in aerobic respiration, NOTgiven off!


What happens when no oxygen is present ffor respiration?

If no oxygen is available, most living things will die.


What does the delivery of oxygen to cells to do?

Oxygen is used by cells for the process of respiration. Respiration is the release of energy from food. When this happens using oxygen it is called aerobic respiration: glucose + oxygen ----> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY IRON


What happens if oxygen supply runs out in cellular respiration?

Fermentation


When does cellular respiration happens?

It happens all of the time, except when you are sprinting. It then switches to fermentation, which doesn't use oxygen. This is because when you are sprinting, you don't get enough oxygen for cellular respiration to occur.


What happens if oxygen is available to accept electrons during aerobic respiration?

Aerobic processes stop, only small amounts of ATP can be produced and fermentation proceeds.


What happens to the oxygen?

It released into the atmosphere, if it isn't immeadiately used in respiration.
