only animals undergo respiration, it is the act of supplying tissues with oxygen through a gas exchange interface (lungs/gills). Plants undergo transpiration (movement of gases through the vascular body and/or stomas). While bacteria (and any other unicellular organism) have no need for respiration, they instead undergo osmotic gas exchange as they are bathed in their external environment as opposed to animal tissues which are highly specialized and predominantly internal.

Latic acid fermentation occurs in?

occurs in the human body, this is caused by a succesion of anaerobic respiration, therefore not enough energy can be created due to the fact that there is a lack of oxygen to break those energy cells, therefore in order to somewhat 'compensate' the body fermentates the bi-products which are unable to carry on to further create energy for the body use. therefore latic acid is made- this is also the reasoning behind cramps etc. due to the fact anaerobic cellular respiration is occuring therefore not enoungh energy is created by the cells in order for movement or vital life processes.


Which of the 5 kingdoms contain organisms that carry out Photosynthesis and respiration?

Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia


How do chemosynthetic bacteria make their food?

Some chemosynthetic bacteria live in very remote places on Earth, such as volcanic vents on the deep-ocean floor and hot springs in Yellowstone Park. Other live in more common places, such as tidal marshes along the coast.


Organisms whose cells have no visible nucleus?

Certain bacteria and viruses carry their DNA in little rings rather than in chromosomes, so don't have a distinct nucleus like larger organisms.


What life processes do microorganisms carry out?

Microorganisms are living things and like all living things carry out the 7 life processes. Micro organisms include virus, bacteria, protozoa and fungi. There are debates regarding the classification of virus as a living organism.Movement: some microbes move around freely on their own. They can be carried from place to place by wind, water or other organisms.Reproduction: mcroorganisms like bacteria and yeast reproduce by cell division. some like fungi also produces spores.Sensitivity: Most microbes would move away from light. They would also move towards water or moist condition. Generally, they move away from hostile conditions to favourable conditions.Growth: microbes grow from small sizes to larger sizes. Growth can easily be observed in mushroom, a fungus.Respiration: release of energy from organic materials. in the presence of oxygen, microbes respire to release carbon dioxide and energy (aerobic respiration). However, in the absence of oxygen, microbes respire to release ethanol and some energy.Excretion: microbes release unwanted waste materials such as carbon dioxide from body surfaces through the process of diffusion or through other structures.Nutrition: most microbes are parasites. For example virus depend on a living host to feed and carry out all live processes. Fungi can live as parasites or saprophytes.

How do bacteria carry out respiration?

Bacterial metabolism is based on anaerobic fermentation not aerobic respiration.


What are important for the growth of bacteria?

In order for any organism to continue to live and reproduce it needs to carry out the biological function of cellular respiration. So oxygen, glucose or sugar are definitely needed. In some cases though bacteria does not need oxygen if it can carry out anaerobic respiration.


How does respiration differ from cellular respiration?

fermentation is entirely anaerobic wheras cellular respiration only has 1 out of 3 stages that is anaerobic, the other 2 being aerobic (need oxygen to carry out rweactions. from this you can tell what anaerobic must mean:) i hope this helps:D


What kind of organisms carry out respiration?

Anaerobes like archaebacteria and other microorganisms


Is an anaerobic bacterium an organism that will carry out cellular respiration?

Yes, in a sense Cellular respiration is just another term for METABOLISM - The Process of Life. Metabolism will use either of the Respiratory Processes - aerobic or anaerobic {with or without Oxygen} - to make the mandatory energy molecule Atp. Photosynthesis is an aerobic way to provide energy, and Chemosynthesis is the anaerobic way - using, say H2S as the electron donor {instead of say CH4} to produce energy [via the production of Atp] to provide Glucose for Respiration. [It would appear that bacteria at deep-sea-thermal-vents use sulfur to make glucose for Standard Respiration].


What organism is not going to carry out cellular respiration?

I guess your question implies to "oxygen" when you mean "respiration". As said before, anaerobic bacteria such as sulphate reducing bacteria (Desulfovibrio as an example) use sulphur to make ATP or energy.


Do humans carry both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

No, humans do not carry out photosynthesis. Instead, humans rely on cellular respiration to convert nutrients into energy. Photosynthesis is a process unique to plants, algae, and some bacteria, where they convert sunlight into energy.


Can only organisms that breathe perform cellular respiration?

false ,plants need to under go respiration too in order to survive because the glucose created in photosynthesis stores energy and the plant needs to break the chemical bonds of glucose, which cellular respiration does, to get energy


What is anaerobic respiration in vinegar making?

Anaerobic respiration in vinegar making refers to the conversion of sugars in the fruit juice into acetic acid by certain bacteria, such as Acetobacter. During this process, the bacteria do not require oxygen and instead use a different electron acceptor to carry out respiration. This allows the bacteria to convert the sugars into vinegar in the absence of oxygen.
