Yes.
In fact, all living organisms must respire. If a cell stops respiring, it dies.
Respiration in everyday speech means "breathing", but in Biology cellular respiration means taking a chemical substance that is energy-rich, such as a molecule of glucose, and breaking it down to release the energy from it. All animals do this, or they would not have the energy to resist decomposition. Quite simply, they would fall apart!
Animals have two main ways to break down glucose. A little energy comes from what is called anaerobic respiration, which means respiring without oxygen. We do this when we exercise hard, and make lactic acid in our muscles. The main way, though, is to break down the glucose completely to carbon dioxide and water, and obtain much more energy in the process. This needs oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration.
What else can I help you with?
Can plants respire and photosynthesize at the same time?
Yes, the can photosynthesize and respire at the same time.
Why can't plants respire at day?
Plants need to photozynthesis during day does not enable them to respire.
Does hepatitis a respire anaerobically or aerobically?
Hepatitis A is a viral infection (not bacterial), so it doesn't have the ability to respire at all.
Why all living things need to respire?
They need to respire because they need to grow, produce and repair.
Which animal can respire in absence of oxygen?
Some anaerobic bacteria and archaea can perform respiration without oxygen, using alternative electron acceptors such as nitrate, sulfate, or carbon dioxide. These organisms are known as facultative anaerobes.
Which animal can respire in vacuum?
none, because you need oxygen to respire and a vacuum is the absence of matter and oxygen is matter
Does an animal or plant cell have mitochondria?
They are in both. Both need mitochondria to respire
Why is it important for plants to respire?
It is important for plants to respire because they convert Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen. Therefore Making the planet more hospitable to animal life.
Is any animal which can respire in vacuum?
Negative. Respiration requires air, which does not exist in a vacuum.
Do animal cells respire?
Yes, animal cells undergo cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process occurs in the mitochondria of the cell and involves the breakdown of glucose to generate ATP through a series of metabolic reactions.
Does your tortoise respire when it hibernates?
This is from wikipedia:Hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in animal, characterized by lower body temperature, slower breathing, and lower metabolic rate.slower breathing, so yes your tortoise does respire when it hibernates
How animal cells use mitochondria?
That is to produce to energy. It carry out respiration
What animal is using moist skin to breath?
Vertebrates like amphibians respire through skin though they have lungs and invertebrates like earthworm, leeches also respire through skin. To respire through skin it must be kept moist always. If you dry the skin in above all animals, they will die.
How do amphibious animal respire?
lung, skin and gills. by dinesh singh bhadouria
Do human respire?
Yes, humans do respire. Respiration is one of the seven life processes, you have to respire to live, humans are living things so they do respire.
What is advantages of the folded body walls in sponges?
Sponges have folded body walls with holes leading to the inside of the animal. The advantage is that water stays in one area allowing the animal to respire.
What is Animal Respiration?
It is how animals respire, or breathe. We humans respire with lungs. Not all animals have lungs. For example, fish have gills, which they use to respire. Frogs breathe through their skin. All mammals (animals with hair) have lungs though, so they breathe like we do.
