Metabolism halts without i) oxygen, ii) fuel, or iii) the normal functioning of any, and all. of a large number of biochemical machines - called enzymes. Take your pick of these three, yet there are 'bound to be' several or many more.

What substances are required for cellular respiration?
oxygen and water are the substances needed for cellular respiration to take place
How does photosynthesis affect the flow of energy in the biosphere?
Photosynthesis occurs only when plants can obtain carbon dioxide, water and light from their external environment, products produced are sugars and oxygen. All living things depend on the process of photosynthesis, which it provides the continuous input of energy necessary to sustain ecosystems. Photosynthesis enables green plants to obtain energy directly; plants and animals obtain this energy indirectly from the food they eat.
What are the Raw materials of aerobic cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 (glucose) and 6O2 (oxygen) are the materials needed
What role does oxygen play in the human body?
It helps heart and lungs to function properly.Cells utilize oxygen to produce ATP.It is also used as fuel to burn the glucose to produce energy.Then it absorbs the energy from the glucose coming from the food
Do Anaerobic bacteria require oxygen?
Anaerobic organisms obtain energy without using oxygen as the final electron acceptor. They use sulfate, nitrate or sulfur as the final electron acceptor. This doesn't form as much energy as oxygen will. These microbes do fill a niche that aerobes can't fill.
Combustion is the process of oxidizing a carbon fuel source in the presence of?
Oxygen
What burns fuel to produce energy?
Oxygen in the air reacts with the fuel in a process called combustion to release energy
What happen when the supply of oxygen becomes insufficient?
When oxygen is insufficient the body cannot depend on the next step which is acetyl CoA, this enhances metabolism and it goes to the next step which is TCA cycle, here the body's metabolism is working to make more ATP. This is fuel for the body.
Explain the process of using fossil fuel as energy?
They are burned with oxygen to produce energy.
Which gas in the air is needed for fuels to burn?
oxygen is needed for fuel to burn
What did Joseph priestley find out about burning?
Discovered that a gas, oxygen and a fuel was was essential to the process of burning.
TEN uses of oxygen please?
Ten uses of oxygen includes metabolism and oxygen therapy, emergency survival oxygen tanks, rocket fuel, oxygen furnance, carbon monoxide/dioxide poisoning treatment, welding, killing bacteria, cancer treatment, wastewater treatment, metal cutting, and welding.
What helps to keep a fire fueling?
The three ends of the fire triangle have to be present: fuel, heat, and oxygen.
What 3 things are needed for combustion to occur?
the organic (or certain inorganic) compounds oxygen (generally excess) heat
Which chemical is needed for fuels to burn?
oxygen helps fuel burnsi.e think in a petrol station if no oxygen was around the petrol wouldn't burnwrote by dayna laban
What happens after the cells obtain the nutrients?
Think of nutrients as fuel and building materials. They are necessary for a process called metabolism, which means building up and tearing down.
How does Chemistry helps in space travel?
It helps scientists know how much of what is needed to make for example the fuel or how much of gases they need to give the astronauts oxygen.
