Does cell respiration take place in animals?
Considering that cellular respiration takes place in humans, which are a "higher" form of animals, you can assume that cellular respiration can also take place in all other animals. Without cellular respiration, the animals would have no form of cellular energy, ATP, and would start to die off.
The process by which cells get energy from food is called what?
Metabolism is the use of energy by cells. All animals get energy from nutrients through metabolism. Humans an other animals eat food to get energy.
Do humans carry out the process of cellular respiration?
Yes - cellular respiration is a process carried out in every living cell.
Do humans carry both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
No, humans do not carry out photosynthesis. Instead, humans rely on cellular respiration to convert nutrients into energy. Photosynthesis is a process unique to plants, algae, and some bacteria, where they convert sunlight into energy.
Does cellular respiration happen in humans?
Yes, cellular respiration occurs in humans. Life depends on this process in order to create enough energy to run all cellular activites that allow us to function.
Humans need oxygen for what cellular process?
Humans need oxygen for the last step of cellular respiration, the process that generates energy to power cells. This is the only place oxygen is directly used in the body. One important thing to note is that earlier stages of cellular respiration like glycolysis is anaerobic!
Do humans produces carbon dioxide?
Through cellular respiration.
How is cellular respiration useful to humans?
helps with release of energy
Organisms that conduct cellular respiration?
Wow, you don't have a biology book? It should contain this information. Well, all animals perform cellular respiration. Humans are a good, easy example. We do cellular respiration aerobically (using oxygen, also called breathing. haha) and anaerobically (without oxygen, lactic acid fermentation).
Why is oxygen important to humans and animals?
Oxygen is needed for the chemical reaction which provides humans and animals with the energy that we need to make our biochemistry work.
Is oxygen the most important gas in the air for humans?
Yes, oxygen is the most important gas in the air for humans as it is essential for cellular respiration, which provides cells with the energy they need to function. Without oxygen, humans would not be able to survive.
What are examples of food energy?
Food energy is energy that animals (including humans) derive from their food, through the process of cellular respiration, the process of joining oxygen with the molecules of food (aerobic respiration) or of reorganizing the atoms within the molecules for anaerobic respiration.
