Is respiration organic

Answer 1

Cellular respiration, in a nutshell, is a serial flow of electrons through the cell membrane, from oxidizable substrates (like sugars) to the ultimate electron acceptor (like oxygen), resulting in generation of energy, which is utilized for various cellular processes. When the ultimate electron acceptor is oxygen it is called aerobic respiration, whereas when the ultimate electron acceptor is the elemental sulfur or copper or a ferric ion (in the absence of oxygen) it is called anaerobic respiration. But when the oxidizable substrate was an inorganic hydrocarbon chain and the electron acceptor was an inorganic element, such as one of the above elements, occurring through an inorganic membrane, it may be called 'inorganic respiration', which was the way the initial respiratory process took place and the purpose of this was to keep the membrane potentials 'alive'.

Answer 2

Yes, respiration is an organic process because it involves the breakdown of organic molecules, such as glucose, to produce energy in the form of ATP. The oxygen is used in the process to help release this energy stored in the organic molecules.

Answer 3

respiration does not classify under the category of organic or inorganic

Answer 4

breathing or ventilation.

Answer 5

It is CO2 known as carbon dioxide
