Yes. Cellular respiration is really awesome because it occurs in all eukaryotic organisms (although it does not occur in all eukaryotic cells). Cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria of a cell. The overall goal of cellular respiration is to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate- a handy little molecule that is used for energy in all organisms) and energy carriers (take energized electrons and join them to other stuff). Hope this helps! ;D

How does cellular respiration contribute to the production of heat in living organisms?

Cellular respiration is a process in which cells break down glucose to produce energy. This energy is used for various cellular functions, including generating heat. During cellular respiration, some of the energy released is converted into heat, which helps regulate the body temperature of living organisms.


Do rocks undergo respiration?

Rocks do not undergo respiration because they are not living organisms and do not require energy in the form of cellular respiration. Respiration is a metabolic process that occurs in living cells to produce energy. Rocks lack the necessary cellular structures and processes for respiration to take place.

Why is cellular respiration so important to all living things?

Cellular respiration is the process that produces usable cellular energy in the form of ATP. The organisms that run cellular respiration rely on it because their cells need the energy in order to function and live.


What is the process that does the opposite to photosynthesis?

The process that is the opposite of photosynthesis is cellular respiration. In cellular respiration, organisms break down glucose to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. This process releases energy stored in glucose and is used by all living organisms to power their cellular functions.


Why do the cells of all living things carry out cellular respiration continuously?

Living things use energy in order to live, so we are constantly using converting ATP to ADP in order to get that energy. Cellular respiration replenishes the ATP by converting ADP back into ATP, which living things use for energy. Without cellular respiration an organism would die from lack of ATP, and therefore a lack of energy.


What is the name of the process that releases energy from food in every living organism?

Process by which living things use oxygen to release energy?

The process is called cellular respiration, which occurs in the cells of living organisms. During cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP, carbon dioxide, and water as byproducts. This energy is then used by the organism for various biological functions.
