What limits us from doing cellular respiration?
Various factors can limit our ability to perform cellular respiration, such as inadequate oxygen supply, buildup of metabolic waste products like lactic acid, and enzymatic deficiencies. Additionally, health conditions like respiratory diseases or mitochondrial disorders can impair the efficiency of cellular respiration.
Why does the body switch between cellular and anaerobic respiration?
The body needs oxygen for cellular respiration. When doing strenuous activity, such as lifting weights, the mitochondria cannot get enough oxygen. Without oxygen to act as an electron receptor, the body creates lactic acid to "reset" coenzymes to continue respiration.
Why do cells require a good supply of oxygen?
Cells require oxygen for cellular respiration, which is the process that generates energy in the form of ATP. Without oxygen, cells would not be able to efficiently convert nutrients into energy. This energy is needed for essential cellular functions and survival.
What would happen if there was no cellular respiration?
I presume you are referring to human's cellular respiration and not bacterial cellular respiration. With human's cellular respiration, you first have to understand that our body uses ATP (short for adenosine triphosphate) as the main source of fuel. It is ATP that helps our body to repair itself, to grow, and to eliminate basic toxins such as carbon dioxide. Second, the main source of ATP is glucose from breakdown of the food we eat. With that in mind, cellular respiration (also known as aerobic respiration) is the use of inhaled oxygen to more efficiently make ATP. With oxygen/ aerobic respiration, a cell's mitochondria power house can make 36 ATPs from one molecule of glucose via glycolysis + Kreb cycle + electron transfer chain pathway. Whereas without oxygen (aka anaerobic respiration), a cell stops at glycolysis making only 2 ATPs. As you can see, 36 vs. 2 ATPs is a big difference. A cell that is metabolically active and requires a lot of ATPs such as the neurons (brain cells), the myocardiocytes (heart cells), and the proximal tubule cells (kidney cells) will die off when the glucose supply is depleted from inefficient breakdown to produce ATPs. So in short, without cellular respiration, a cell will use anaerobic respiration, making 1/16 of normal ATPs, survive for 2 mins to hours (depending on the cellular activities and body temperature) then die off due to depletion of glucose source within the cell or die off due to activation of Fas self-suicide mechanism. Hope this answers your question. =)
From where can a person get supply of oxygen for artificial respiration?
A person can obtain a supply of oxygen for artificial respiration from oxygen tanks, oxygen concentrators, or portable oxygen cylinders. These can be provided by medical facilities, emergency services, or home healthcare providers.

We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide as a result of a?
We inhale oxygen to supply our cells with the oxygen needed for cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water as byproducts. The carbon dioxide is then exhaled as waste.
From where can the person get supply of oxygen for artificial respiration?
A person can get the supply of oxygen for artificial respiration from the cylinders attached to the machines.
What is the main food supply for cellular respiration?
suger
What cell structure needs oxygen to do its job?
In order for cellular respiration to take place, mitochondria must have oxygen. Mitochondria are the building blocks of the cell, and the cell cannot survive without it.
Why do your cells need a constant supply of glucose?
Cellular Respiration
Does water kills cell?
neurons die as a result of cessation of oxygen supply and dehydration causes blood viscosity. therefore if blood is viscous there would be poor oxygen supply to the brain because the hemoglobin in the blood carries the oxygen we require for cellular respiration.
What element does man need to survive?
Man needs oxygen to survive. Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration, which produces energy for the body's processes. Without a constant supply of oxygen, humans cannot survive.
When is cellular respiration performed?
Cellular respiration occurs in all living cells, at all times, to generate energy in the form of ATP. The process involves breaking down glucose molecules in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
Why do animals need a continuous supply of oxygen?
Animals need a continuous supply of oxygen because it obtains energy from their food. To acquire such energy from food, cells in animals require a steady supply of ATP in order to function. To produce this ATP, cellular respiration requires oxygen. Without ATP, cells and the organism will die so therefore, animals need a continuous supply of oxygen to survive.
The basic funcction of respiration is to supply the body's need for?
Oxygen.
