What else can I help you with?
What is needed to burn food and release energy stored in it?
Food needs to be combined with oxygen in a process called combustion to release the energy stored in it. This combustion process breaks down the food molecules, releasing energy that can be used by the body.
What do you call the release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen?
The release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. When there is oxygen present it is called aerobic respiration.
Does mitochondria release oxygen?
Yes.. chloroplast release oxygen because it is the by product of the plant.. and the humans/people are needing the oxygen.. but plant don't release a oxygen during night time because there is no light coming from the sun..
What is the process by which a cell breaks down molecules to release energy without using oxygen?
The process is called anaerobic respiration, specifically fermentation. During fermentation, molecules such as glucose are broken down to release energy in the form of ATP without the need for oxygen. This process is less efficient than aerobic respiration but allows cells to continue producing energy in the absence of oxygen.
When an animal cell breaks down sugar for energy they release water and what waste gas?
Oxygen. Formula: 02 (its diatomic)
The release of energy from food molecules in the abscence of oxygen is called?
fermentation
Why do we have to inhale oxygen to survive?
oxygen is required in a process known as aerobic respiration. This is where an organism breaks down sugar step by step using oxygen to release energy which is used elsewhere in the organism.
How oxygen burns food to release energy is called?
The process of burning food with oxygen to release energy is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, cells break down glucose and other molecules in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP, the cell's main source of energy.
Combining oxygen with food to release energy is called what?
The process of combining oxygen with food to release energy is called cellular respiration. This process takes place in the mitochondria of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose molecules to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
What is the intake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide called?
The intake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide is called respiration. In respiration, cells break down glucose to produce energy, releasing carbon dioxide as a waste product. Oxygen is used in this process to help generate energy.
What burns fuel to produce energy?
Oxygen in the air reacts with the fuel in a process called combustion to release energy
Is aerobolic exergonic or endurgonic?
Aerobic processes are exergonic, meaning they release energy. Aerobic respiration, for example, breaks down glucose with the help of oxygen to produce ATP and energy.
