What normally occurs whether or not oxygen oxygen is present?

Cellular respiration, the process by which cells generate energy, can occur both in the presence and absence of oxygen. However, the specific type of cellular respiration that takes place differs based on oxygen availability - aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.


Which term describes processes that take place when there is no oxygen present?

Anaerobic processes occur when there is no oxygen present, such as in anaerobic respiration or fermentation. These processes result in the production of energy without the need for oxygen.


No oxygen is present?

Without oxygen present, living organisms that rely on aerobic respiration cannot survive. Anaerobic organisms, like certain bacteria and archaea, can still function using alternative metabolic pathways that do not require oxygen. Overall, oxygen is essential for many organisms to generate energy efficiently through aerobic respiration.


What occurs if no oxygen is present in the cell?

If no oxygen is present in a cell, aerobic respiration cannot occur. This can lead to a shift to anaerobic respiration, which produces less ATP and lactic acid as a byproduct. In extreme cases, the cell may die due to lack of energy production.


What do you call the release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen?

The release of energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration. When there is oxygen present it is called aerobic respiration.

What prouduct is needed for cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration requires both glucose and oxygen. Glucose provides the energy for the cell and oxygen is required to be the final electron acceptor so that aerobic respiration can happen. Other molecules can enter cellular respiration and be broken down, but glucose is considered the start of this process. Oxygen is also not required, but if it is not present, then fermentation will run and this process is not nearly as efficient as aerobic respiration.


What organelle is used in Cellular respiration is oxygen is present?

What happens in respiration reactions if no oxygen is present?

This is when anaerobic respiration takes place. It is respiration without using oxygen. However, when anaerobic respiration takes place, lactic acid is produced and accumulates until the muscles cannot work any more. This is why anaerobic respiration can not happen for very long. After anaerobic respiration, the person usually has to breathe heavily in order to break down the lactic acid and to 'pay back the oxygen debt'.


What must be present during cellular respiration?

Yes. Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
