A living organism uses the process of cellular respiration to release stored chemical energy from nutrients. This process involves breaking down glucose molecules to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.

What is the process by which an organism obtains the energy it needs releasing the chemical energy in nutrients?

The process is respiration (cellular respiration). It breaks down the compounds called carbohydrates to release the energy stored there (which almost always originally came from photosynthesis).


Which organism release the most inorganic nutrients for use by producers?

decomposers


How does allelopathy give an organism an advantage?

Allelopathy in plants gives the organism a competitive advantage because the toxic chemical produced prevents other plants growing nearby and eliminates the competition for light, space, water, and nutrients in the soil.


Why is oxygen needed by all organisms?

Oxygen is essential for the process of cellular respiration, where nutrients are broken down to release energy for the organism. This energy is required for various metabolic processes that keep the organism alive. Without oxygen, most organisms would not be able to generate the energy needed to survive.


What is the process by which chemical reactions occur that break down food molecules into energy to be used by the organism?

Breaking down of macromolecules into small particles is called a catabolic process. In any catabolic process there is a release of energy. Anabolic reaction combines small particles into a macro molecule and energy is conserved in such a process.


The process by which the chemical bond energy stored in nutrients is released for use in cells?

This process is known as cellular respiration. It involves the breakdown of glucose (or other nutrients) to produce ATP, the main energy currency of cells. The process occurs in multiple steps, including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, and ultimately results in the release of energy for cellular functions.


Which process of burning food inside an organism's cells to release energy is called?

Respiration.


What happens to the cell when a organism grows larger?

Cells in a multi-cellular organism are usually not dramatically effected by that organism's growth. They will continue to grow until they are large enough where they need to divide. This process will always continue. In humans, when we have growth-spurts as children and young adults, are bodies release chemicals that tell our cells to reproduce faster.


What process do all organism release energy stored in the bonds of glucose?

Cellular Respiration


How are these substances passed on from one organism to another?

Substances can be passed on from one organism to another through various ways such as ingestion, inhalation, or absorption. For example, predators consume prey to obtain nutrients, plants release chemicals that are inhaled by animals, and some organisms absorb nutrients from their environment.


Is assimilation essential for all living organism?

ASSIMILATION is the process in which the food taken by the organism is used to release energy for its day-to-day activities.since all organisms require energy,thus, assimilation is very essential for all living organism.


How does chewing food affect your body's ability to release the chemical energy of the fod?

Chewing food breaks it down into smaller pieces, increasing its surface area for enzymes to act on, which helps in releasing the chemical energy stored in the food. This process also aids in the efficient absorption of nutrients by the body.
