Cellular respiration generates ATP using a complex cycle of reactions and gradients. ATP is the driving force of life, so all cells in plants AND animals need to produce ATP to survive. Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down C6H12O6 (Glucose) and other food molecules in the presence of O2 (Oxygen). After cellular respiration takes place, the end product is CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) H2O (Water) and "free" energy. The 62% of free energy left is released as heat, that is why you feel warm after you have exercised and are breathing heavy, a.k.a cellular RESPIRATION. So basically while you're breathing in oxygen, the food you ate contains sugar and carbohydrates that are going to be broken down to get more energy for you to continue walking, jogging, running, etc.
Living things need to carry out this process because without it, you wouldn't last more than 5-10 minutes out exercising because you wouldn't have any energy for you to carry out your daily activities. Oh yeah by the way, ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate, which is sort of like the cells battery because it is capable or storing and releasing energy. It stores the energy in the bonds between the phosphates.

living thing respire by taking oxygen in and carbon dioxide out of the cell

∙ 9y agoPlants and animals respire in order to live. Respiration is a chemical reaction where living things get the energy they need to live. Respiration is used to release the energy from the glucose molecule.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoHumans are consumers meaning they obtain their energy by eating other organisms. The most efficient method of obtaining energy from organic molecules is aerobic respiration. Therefore humans respire because it is the most effective method of obtaining energy from the food we consume.

∙ 15y agoBecause when you respire you produce energy and all living things need energy to survive.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoLiving things respire because the Krebbs cycle is an important means of making ATP available to power biological processes.

∙ 12y agoso they can create energy to carry out necessary living processes they use the glucose in their body to create ATP (energy)
(glucose+oxygen---> water+carbon dioxide+ ATP (energy)

Why all living things need to respire?
They need to respire because they need to grow, produce and repair.
How can i describe the role of matter in living and nonliving things?
Living things differ from non-living things because living things can function by themselves and don't need to be controlled by humans.
What type of respiration occurs in all living things?
Anaerobic Respiration. All living organisms have the ability to respire (if only for a short period of time) without the presence of oxygen.
Why are plants considered living things?
Althoug plants are not capable of locomotion, they display many other characteristics of a living thing. For example, they respire (Non-living things do not respire or breathe), They prepare food and consume food for energy, they grow, they also get sick and wither or die.
What is the difference between living and non-living things according to stamula irratability or sensitiveness?
Living things move, respire, sense, feel, breath and grow, and also do lots of other things that objects don't. Non-living things do not react to stimula, nor are they "sensitive".
Do other living things respire?
yes all living things respire, including plants. it happens in the mitochondria of the cell.
Why all living things need to respire?
They need to respire because they need to grow, produce and repair.
What all living things need?
all living things need to survive and to eat <3 All living things need to respire and reproduce.
Do human respire?
Yes, humans do respire. Respiration is one of the seven life processes, you have to respire to live, humans are living things so they do respire.
What three things do living things do?
some specifications of living beings are they respire they breathe they move they respond
Why living thing respire?
Living things respire because the Krebbs cycle is an important means of making ATP available to power biological processes.
What is a seven letter word that starts with r that living things can do this?
respire
How can i describe the role of matter in living and nonliving things?

How do living things respirate?
living thing respire by taking oxygen in and carbon dioxide out of the cell
What type of respiration occurs in all living things?

What two things which living things can do?
Move Respire Excrete Nutrition Sensitivity Reproduction Growth
Do shellfish poop?
yes they are living things and all living things have to: move, respire, eat, EXCRETE, reproduce, grow and one other thing but i cant remember. Anyway shellfish are living so they have to excrete, which is to poop.
