Is oxygen needed to make food in a plant?
Yes. Oxygen is needed for a plant to photosynthesize and make glucose, which is its food.
What term describes the release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen?
Fermentation!!!!!
What is needed to give living things enerygy?
Living things obtain energy by consuming nutrients and breaking them down through processes like cellular respiration. This energy is then used for different functions such as growth, movement, and reproduction. Sunlight is also a source of energy for living things through photosynthesis in plants.
Plants need oxygen to release the energy in the food that they make?
Plants require oxygen during cellular respiration to break down the stored energy in food molecules and produce ATP for growth and metabolic processes. This process occurs in plant mitochondria and is essential for plant survival.
What does the delivery of oxygen allow cells to do?
Oxygen is used by cells for the process of respiration. Respiration is the release of energy from food. When this happens using oxygen it is called aerobic respiration: glucose + oxygen ----> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY IRON
What gas is needed for the chemical breakdown of food to release energy?
Oxygen is needed for the chemical breakdown of food to release energy. This process is known as cellular respiration, and it occurs in the mitochondria of our cells. Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing for the production of ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.
What is needed to burn food and release energy stored in it?
Food needs to be combined with oxygen in a process called combustion to release the energy stored in it. This combustion process breaks down the food molecules, releasing energy that can be used by the body.
What is needed to make energy in the human body?
Food and Oxygen
What do you call the release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen?
The release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. When there is oxygen present it is called aerobic respiration.
What do plants release as they turn food into energy?
oxygen
Why does the blood need oxygen and food nutrients?
to release energy
Why is oxygen needed by most living organisms?
Oxygen is needed by most living organisms for cellular respiration, where it is used to break down food molecules to release energy. This energy is essential for various life processes, including growth, reproduction, and movement. Oxygen also plays a crucial role in ATP production, the primary energy currency of cells.
What is the name for the release of energy from food?
all of your cell need oxygen , so they can release energy from glucose by respiration
The release of energy from food molecules in the abscence of oxygen is called?
fermentation
When oxygen breaks down food to release energy what is called?
sugar
When food is broken down where is the energy stored?
When food is broken down the stored energy is in your cells. When the energy is needed, the cells release the energy.
Why do you need to breathe in oxygen?
oxygen is needed to produce energy from food
