Was earths first cells aerobic or anaerobic?
No, not all forms of life on Earth require oxygen in their environment. There are forms of life, called anaerobic forms, that do not require oxygen. These animals belong to the phylum Loricifera.
What is an organism that can survive with or without oxygen?
Facultative anaerobes can survive without oxygen but will use oxygen if it is present.
Respiration with and without oxygen is called?
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen; anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen.
What is a process by which cells get energy from food without using oxygen?
They use energy from carbon -di-oxide & it is known as anaerobic respiration.It occurs in the absence of oxygen & release 2 molecules of ATP from one glucose molecule. It also produces alcohol & lactic acid
What is the definition of the anaerobic system?
muscle use without oxygen
Could your body use food if you could not get oxygen?
Without oxygen, your body will die. If you die, you have no need for food. Food does not contain oxygen that could be used in this case.
What process gives off oxygen to the atmospher?
oxygen is primarily used by all living things to breakdown food to energy in a process called oxidation. We get this oxygen by respiration process. Apart from this plants use oxygen to make their food using sunlight in presence of Chlorophyll.
What is the breaking down of food molecules without the use of oxygen?
Anaerobic digestion
Do plants produce food without any oxygen?
They dont need oxygen to produce food (Glucose), they use carbon dioxide to produce this but they do need oxygen to respire and get energy from the food that they produuced. The process by which food is produced is called photosynthesis.
How do plants and animals primarily use the oxygen to convert their food?
oxygen is primarily used by all living things to breakdown food to energy in a process called oxidation. We get this oxygen by respiration process. Apart from this plants use oxygen to make their food using sunlight in presence of Chlorophyll. Ad also by exhaling..
What is the breaking down of food molecules without the use of oxygen called?
Anaerobic decomposition or anaerobic digestion.
What is it called when humans use oxygen to help breakdown food and release energy in a process?
For Humans, as well as All other Organisms, these Biochemical processes are 'collectively' known as Respiration.
Was earths first cells aerobic or anaerobic?
No, not all forms of life on Earth require oxygen in their environment. There are forms of life, called anaerobic forms, that do not require oxygen. These animals belong to the phylum Loricifera.
What is an organism that can survive with or without oxygen?
Facultative anaerobes can survive without oxygen but will use oxygen if it is present.
How is photosynthesis important to earth?
Plants use photosynthesis to make oxygen and glucose. Without plants, all animals including humans would die from no food and no oxygen to breathe.
How does yeast break down food without the use of oxygen?
the yeast uses anaerobic respiration instead which only needs glucose
How man can survive in water without oxygen?
They can't survive without oxygen but they can survive with an oxygen mask that scuba divers use and with supply of oxygen of course .
