Oxygen act as last electron acceptor.It become reduced to H2O.
Respiration.
It is process of generating of energy.Mitochondria is responsible for aerobic respiration.
O2 is converted into H2O (water) as it accepts electrons during the process of cellular respiration.
aerobic respiration basically its first step is called glycolysis and is further divded in two forms either aerobic which occur in presence of o2 and anaerobic in absences of oxygen Exactly so to answer the question the process the REQUIRES O2 is aerobic respiration like i said.
The process of respiration occurs in the mitochondria, an organelle of eukaryotic cells. The process of respiration will produce: carbon dioxide, water (g), and ATP. C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -----------------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
O2 ADDED: Not O2, but one atom of oxygen.
Respiration or breathing. respiration is the more scientific term. The scientific formula for respiration is O2+C6H12O6(glucose)=CO2+H2O
go to the process of cellular respiration.
i) O2, & ii) H2O.
The process that exchanges O2 and CO2 is called respiration. In animals, oxygen is inhaled into the lungs, where it diffuses into the bloodstream and is transported to cells for cellular respiration, producing energy. During this process, carbon dioxide, a waste product, is produced and transported back to the lungs, where it is exhaled. In plants, a similar exchange occurs during photosynthesis, where CO2 is taken in and O2 is released.
No, during cell respiration, oxygen (O2) is used to break down glucose molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced as a byproduct of this process and is released as waste.
During photosynthesis O2 is released by the photolysis of water whereas in respiration O2 is consumed in the breakdown of substrate(reserve food).In simple words , Photosynthesis release O2 while respiration requires O2.
