If you break down the word aerobic: aero- "air" + bios "life". So aerobic organisms live on the presence of air, specifically oxygen. The prefix ana- is a negation, so anaerobic organisms do not require oxygen for respiration. Some organisms (called facultative anaerobes) are able to switch from aerobic to anaerobic respiration. The determining factor in the switch from aerobic to anaerobic would be the presence of oxygen. If there is no oxygen, then facultative anaerobes will respire anaerobically.

What organelles break down substances to produce energy for the cell?
Mitochondria break down the remnants of glucose to produce energy (ATP) for the cell.
What substance does glycolysis break down?
Glucose, of course.
What is the process used to break down glucose into ATP that is usable by the cell?
cellular respirationRespiration is used to break down glucose into ATP. The whole process is completed in two steps. First is gycolysis, which is completed in the cytoplasm and the other is Kreb's cycle, completed in mitochondria.
What does isomerase break down?
Isomerase breaks down glucose into fructose
The function of beta galactosidase is to?
break down the Glucose
What cell does glucose partly break down in?
The Mitochondria in a cell breaks down the Glucose
What organelle is needed to break down the glucose in cell respiration?
photosynthesis
What cell part helps plant and animal cells break down glucose?
cytology
What do mitochondria do with the glucose they absorb?
they break down the carbon and oxygen to used in respiration of the cell
What organelles break down substances to produce energy for the cell?
Mitochondria break down the remnants of glucose to produce energy (ATP) for the cell.
What does the mitochondria do in a fat cell?
The same as any other cell. They break down glucose and form molecules of ATP which the cell can use for energy.
What is the chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar?
hi! the chemical reaction that happens in every cell is called glucose
During digestion what molecule enters the cell?
The goal of digestion is to break down food to the glucose level. Only then will it be absorbed into the cell and be used in respiration.
What substance does glycolysis break down?
Glucose, of course.
What process do living organisms break down glucose?
The Glycolysis process allows living organisms break down glucose
Which organelle in a cell uses oxygen when breaking down glucose?
Mitochondria in the cell use oxygen when breaking down glucose.
What is the purpose of the breakdown of glucose in a cell?
For energy, they need energy to keep the organism they're part of going. Cells use oxygen (if possible) to break down the glucose into carbon dioxide and water. This is called aerobic respiration. If not oxygen is available (if your using a lot like during exercise) then the cells will break down the glucose anaerobically to make lactic acid which can hard your cells. This all happens in the mitochondria of your cells.
