Anerobic bacteria can do it - sometimes you see a canned good that is bulged on both ends - that is a can with anerobic bacteria at work inside, and should be discarded.

The process by which cells break down molecules to relase energy without using oxygen?
anaerobic respiration
What uses oxygen to break down food?
What would most likely be using oxygen to break down food would be the cells in humans and other animals in a process called "osmosis" and respiration plays a role in this as well.
What process uses oxygen to break down glucose?
Cellular respiration!
What does oxygen break glucose down to during respiration?
carbon dioxide and water
Does photosynthesis or cellular respiration use oxygen to break down molecules?
Photosynthesis is the use of sunlight to power the creation of sugars from carbon dioxide and water. Where's cellular respiration is the reaction of sugars and oxygen to create energy. Because the sugar is being broken down by the oxygen, we would consider cellular respiration to be the one that uses oxygen to break down molecules.
The break down of food without oxygen?
anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of food without oxygen.
The break down of sugar and starch to carbon dioxide and alcohol without using oxygen is?
It is called fermentation.
When there is no oxygen present what are the processes called that break down organic molecules?
Anaerobic Respiration
The process by which cells break down molecules to relase energy without using oxygen?
anaerobic respiration
How is breathing essential to life?
Oxygen is required to break down food in order to get energy from food. Without oxygen, we'd have no energy and would not survive.
When rocks break down without changing the rock material it is called?
The process of breaking down the rock material without changing its chemical composition is called mechanical weathering.
How do decomposers affect oxygen?
Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying material. They affect oxygen levels by depleting them since they need oxygen to break down material.
How does yeast break down food without the use of oxygen?
the yeast uses anaerobic respiration instead which only needs glucose
What does a cell use to break down food?
oxygen
What does the body break down during respiration?
Oxygen
What uses oxygen to break down food?
What would most likely be using oxygen to break down food would be the cells in humans and other animals in a process called "osmosis" and respiration plays a role in this as well.
What is the breaking down of food molecules without the use of oxygen called?
Anaerobic decomposition or anaerobic digestion.
