Yes, and it does all the time, but some other energy source is required. For one thing, all animal cells undergo cellular respiration without photosynthesis, as do all anaerobic bacteria (yeasts, etc.), and many plants and animals that grow on thermal vents on the bottom of the ocean. Instead of getting energy from light, they use chemical energy (animals and yeasts) or geothermal (heat) energy, such as in the case of aquatic organisms on heat vents.

Could photosynthesis happen without cellular respiration?

No, because photosynthesis makes Glucose and cellular respiration breaks down the glucose into Carbon Dioxide and H20 (Water


Which waste products of cellular respiration are raleased into the environment and could be used in the process of photosynthesis?

The waste products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water. These products can be used by plants in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen.


Why could a loss of chlorophyll limit cellular respiration and plants?

There would be less glucose produced for respiration.


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.


Why is cellular respiration important organic organism?

Without it, they could not survive because this process makes energy.


Why is cellular respiration important to organic organisms?

Without it, they could not survive because this process makes energy.


How would a loss of chlorophyll most likely affect cellular respiration in plant cells?

less glucose would be available for energy production.


Where does a plant get its energy for photosynthesis and what is the energy transformed into after photosynthesis is complete?

They produce glucose which is then used for cellular respiration. (Glucose is chemical energy, it has high energy bonds, which when broken in cellular respiration produce a net of 38 ATP (adenosine triphophate))


Why is respiration important for life?

Cellular respiration is the process by which energy is released from food molecules and stored in molecules of ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Without ATP cells could not function.


Name a life process that requires energy?

Well, the answer could possibly be photosynthesis but that is with chlorophyll. ATP is a source of energy, also.!!


What would happen if you performed cellular respiration experiment without soaking the cotton with KOH?

If you performed the cellular respiration experiment without soaking the cotton with KOH, you could predict no net change in vial 1 in addition to vial 2. Why? The carbon dioxide given off in vial 1 will obscure the intake of oxygen in that vial.
