Why do living organisms carry out the process of cellular respiration?

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.

∙ 15y agoCellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in organisms' cells to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions that involve the oxidation of one molecule and the reduction of another.

The energy for growth and repair in all living organisms is released during the process of?
Cellular respiration.
What is produced during cellular respiration that is used for completion?
Cellular respiration is the process in which oxygen breaks down glucose to produce energy in the cells of living organisms.
What 6 Organisms That Go Through Cellular Respiration?
PlantsHumansFungiFishReptiles
What is the process that occurs in living things?
cellular respiration
What organisms conduct cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is a characteristic of nearly all organisms, used to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The difference in cellular respiration comes in the form of organisms that survive solely on anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) and those that survive on aerobic respiration (respiration using oxygen, which is far more efficient, producing much more energy).
What type of organisms uses cellular respiration for cellular energy?
Respiration is common to every organisms.Every living organisms does respiration.
The energy for growth and repair in all living organisms is released during the process of?
Cellular respiration.
What is produced during cellular respiration that is used for completion?
Cellular respiration is the process in which oxygen breaks down glucose to produce energy in the cells of living organisms.
Does cellular respiration occur in all organisms?
Yes of course it does. It is a fundamental process

Do humans carry out the process of cellular respiration?
Yes - cellular respiration is a process carried out in every living cell.
What is cellular respiration performed by?
All living things are capable of anerobic respiration to some extent. It happens when there is insufficent oxygen to the task at hand. For instance when you work-out at the gym and get sore muscles - the soreness is (in part) due to the presence of Latic Acid in you, a by-product of anerobic respiration. Some organisms use anaerobic respiration exclusively: decomposing bacteria and fungi.
What type of organisms does Cell Respiration occurs in?
organisms that do cellular respiration are bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
What is the process that occurs in living things?
cellular respiration
What is the name of the process that releases energy in living organisms?
respirationrespiration :-)The process is known as respiration.respirationthe process is respiration. i hope this helped!If talking about the cell it would be Cellular Respiration :DRespiration :)It's metabolism or dissipation.
Does the Eastern Newt use photosynthesis or cellular respiration?
All salamanders and newts, including the eastern newts, use cellular respiration. In fact, all organisms have cellular respiration. Respiration is how living organisms acquire energy from breaking down sugars. Photosynthesis is a process where plants create sugars from carbon dioxide in the air and water. No animals can perform photosynthesis.
