Why is cellular respiration call an aerobic process?

Cellular respiration is called an aerobic process because it requires oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP. The final stages of cellular respiration, the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation, can only occur in the presence of oxygen. The term "aerobic" refers to the use of oxygen in a process.


What is the process by which energy is produced in animals?

Cellular Respiration, which takes place in the mitochondria.


This is the process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen.?

The glycolysis and the Krebs cycle uses the oxygen to break down the food molecules in order to release energy.

What describes aerobic respiration?

Aerobic Cellular Respiration means the process by which the energy from glucose is released in the presence of oxygen is called as aerobic cellular respiration.

It is called the respiration. Aerobic respiration takes place in it


Which cellular organelle is called the cellular power plant?

Mitochondira. This is the site of Aerobic respiration which typically yields the greatest amount of ATP.


What is the process of breaking down sugars in the presence of oxygen?

aerobic respiration basically its first step is called glycolysis and is further divded in two forms either aerobic which occur in presence of o2 and anaerobic in absences of oxygen Exactly so to answer the question the process the REQUIRES O2 is aerobic respiration like i said.

The release of energy in plants and animals is called respiration.


What is respiration is plants?

when plants take in oxygen and release carbondioxide DURING THE DAY TIME IN PRESENCE OF LIGHT IT IS CALLED RESPIRATION OR PHOTO-RESPIRATION IN PLANTS.


Why is cellular respiration aerobic?

The single most important biochemical especially to us is " Cellular respiration ". Because this is how we derive energy from what we eat and used in some metabolic reactions and muscle contraction, nerve impulses.or in simple "Cellular respiration" is process from which the organisms can derive energy from the metabolic reactions.cellular respiration is starts from glucose. During cellular respiration one mole of glucose and six moles of molecular oxygen going to produce six carbon dioxide, six water molecules, and energy and 38 ATP's ( energy currency for biological system )Under cellular respiration :1) Glycolysis/ anaerobic cellular respiration ( breaking up glucose; gluc= sweet, ose = sugar ): It occurs completely under the absence of oxygen. so it this is called " anaerobic cellular respiration ".where in Glycolysis the glucose molecule need 2ATP's and generates 2ATP's so it generates a net of 2 ATP's.the byproducts of glycolysis that re-engineeredand enters in to aerobic( requires oxygen ) cellular respiration process called ;2) Krebs cycle( aerobic cellular respiration ) : Krebs cycle generates another 2 net ATP's. This 2ATP's produces NADH.3) Electron transport chain/ ETC ( aerobic cellular respiration ) : ETC generates 34 ATP's by using the NADH which are produced from the ATP in Krebs cycle.this cycle requires oxygen so aerobic respiration.that's about cellular respiration and aerobic process ( 2nd and 3rd ).Here some important thing is some of the byproducts of the glucose ; instead of going in to Krebs and ETC cycle enters into a process called Fermentation and produces alcohol and lactic acid.( Yeast= alcohol, called alcohol fermentation)( Humans= lactic acid) .
