What else can I help you with?
What do metals do when they combine with non metals like oxygen?
Metals tend to lose electrons when they combine with non-metals like oxygen, forming positive ions. These positive ions then combine with the negative ions of non-metals like oxygen to form compounds, such as metal oxides.
What happens when nutrients and oxygen combine inside your cell?
Oxidation of nutrients takes place to release energy in our cells. This is called respiration.
What is a gaseous product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen is a gaseous product of photosynthesis, produced when plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
Does removing oxygen always prevent an oxidation recreation?
Removing oxygen does prevent oxidation from occurring since oxidation is a chemical reaction that involves the gain of oxygen by a substance. Without oxygen present, oxidation cannot take place.
Does oxygen have to be present for an oxidation-reduction reaction to take place?
nope
What are similarities between cellular respiration and respiration?
To tell you the truth they are not similar at all. They have nothing to do with each other. I guess the way they work secrete or take in can be compared but they are different processes. Cellular respiration is when we humans take in oxygen and glucose(food). We use the glucose to carry out many of cell activities which is transferred through our blood and dilivered to our cells. Glucose is then converted to ATP energy by the mitochondria(mitochondria plural). ATP is the cells source of energy. The role that oxygen plays is the combination of oxygen(o2) and glucose which makes water(h2o) which is also used by our cells. A waste would be the carbon dioxide made which is excreted and used by plants for photosynthesis. I guess the thing that might relate would be that to get the oxygen, you need your resperatory system.
What energy conversion takes place during photostnthesis?
During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose through the process of capturing and using solar energy to combine carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
Do sparks need oxygen?
Sparks are rapid oxidation. Oxygen is required for oxidation to take place.
Does removing oxygen always prevent an oxidation reaction?
Oxidation reactions just involve a transfer of electrons, the only reason it's called oxidation is because oxygen is commonly used in those reactions. There are lots of reduction and oxidation reactions that occur without oxygen.
What other substance is needed for respiration to take place?
glucose and oxygen
What are the substances released when oxidation takes place in the cell?
water, carbon dioxide and oxygen
Is oxygen required for the stage of respiration that takes place in the mitochondria?
yes it is. oxygen and glucose are both required.
