∙ 14y agoCells perform cellular respiration to create ATP. ATP is the main energy source in a cell, which is used to carry out the cell's processes. Cellular respiration is when oxygen is used to convert the chemical energy in organic molecules in to ATP.

∙ 13y agoCells carry out cellular respiration to convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to ATP. ATP acts as the "fuel" of the cell, providing energy for cellular processes such as transporting molecules in and out of cells.
The first step of cellular respiration is glycolysis. Glucose is converted into 2 pyruvates, resulting in a net yield of 2 ATP and 2 NADH (per glucose).
The second step is pyruvate oxidation. If oxygen is available, the 2 pyruvates enter the mitochondria through active transport (transporting the pyruvates results in a loss of 2 ATP). The 2 pyruvates are converted into 2 AcetylCoA. 2 NADH and 2 CO2 (per glucose) are also the products of pyruvate oxidation.
The third step is the Citric Acid Cycle/Krebs Cycle, which takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria. AcetylCoA enters the cycle and reacts with various molecules during the cycle. A net yield of 6 NADH, 2 FADH2, 2 ATP, and 4 CO2 (per glucose) is produced.
The fourth and final step is oxidative phosphorylation. NADH and FADH2 unload their electrons, and the energy from these dropped-off electrons is used to create a H+ gradient by pumping H+ ions into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. The H+ ions diffuse back through ATP Synthase, an enzyme that creates 34 ATP (per glucose). The used-up electrons are transferred to O2 to produce 6 H2O (per glucose).
If no oxygen is available, fermentation is the second step after glycolysis. It regenerates NAD+ from NADH so that glycolysis can be repeated over and over again. There are two different types of fermentation: lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation.

∙ 12y agoCellular respiration is one of the processes that cells perform. Organisms do not perform this process. Instead they perform respiration. Cells use cellular respiration to obtain one of the three sources needed for them to live- oxygen. Without this process, cells would not be able to perform other functions.

Do plants cells or animal cells carry out cellular respiration?
Yes. Plants and animals need energy. Energy must therefore be made in the cells.No, only animal cells carry on cellular respiration.animal cells carryon cellular respiration. plant cells carry out photosynthesis which is the opposite of respiration.
Which cell structure carries out cellular respiration?
Respiration isn't exactly carried out by one cell, its more of a system of cells working together to produce energy.The oxygen in the air is absorbed into the blood through alveoli in the lungs and likewise the carbon dioxide in the blood is diffused into the air in the lungs through the alveoli.The red blood cells carry the oxygen to the areas of the body where it is needed for energy production through aerobic respiration by bonding the oxygen to hemoglobin in the cell.Almost all cells in the body require oxygen to produce energy through the process of aerobic respiration, however the obvious example would be muscle cells as these generally do the most work at any given time.So I would say that the types of cells that carry out respiration are probably a mixture of red blood cells, alveoli and muscle cells.
Why do erythrocytes only perform anaerobic respiration?
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) have no cellular organelles - they have pushed all of them out to make more room for hemoglobin to carry oxygen. Therefore, the RBC must rely on anaerobic respiration for its energy needs because it gave up the mitochondria that would have performed aerobic respiration.
Process used by yeast?
Yeast cells undergo cellular respiration. Yeast cells need oxygen to complete the first stage of the cell cycle, so they must first undergo cellular respiration.
Why does every living organism depend on respiration?

Which term is a process that must happen in the cell's cytoplasm before cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process by which a living creature's cells turns glucose.
What do cells like monomers like glucose during cellular respiration?
The second part of the question would be.... According to the equation of cellular respiration, what gas must be present for that bond breaking to be possible? Answer: There must be water and carbon dioxide as the product of cellular respiration so the gas would be carbon dioxide. Hope this helped :)

How does respiration differ from cellular respiration?
fermentation is entirely anaerobic wheras cellular respiration only has 1 out of 3 stages that is anaerobic, the other 2 being aerobic (need oxygen to carry out rweactions. from this you can tell what anaerobic must mean:) i hope this helps:D

What types of cell go through the process of cellular respiration?
All cells must respire, as this is the way they obtain the energy to live.
Can all animal cells undergo cellular respiration?
yes, animals, by definition, consume food (carbs, lipids, proteins) so that they can break it down. carbs (specifically glucose) undergo oxidation to put its bond energy into ATP (adenosine tri phosphate).
If plants have chloroplasts which enable them to carry out photosynthesis, why do they have a mitochondria. Answer must include an explanation of what the products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are?
Mitochondrion release ATP energy in the food they are provided using cellular respiration, while Chloroplasts use photosynthesis to create glucose.
Process used by yeast?
Yeast cells undergo cellular respiration. Yeast cells need oxygen to complete the first stage of the cell cycle, so they must first undergo cellular respiration.
