Does cellular respiration use oxygen

Answer 1

Oxygen is used in the final step in the electron transport chain by cytochrome c oxidase to accept the low-energy electrons that has been passed through the electron transport chain. Only oxygen is a strong enough oxidizing agent to accepts such low-energy electrons. Oxygen combine with a pair of electrons and two protons to form water, the waste product of cellular respiration.

Answer 2

C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O -----> 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy

Easier:

glucose (sugar) molecules + oxygen molecules = carbon dioxide molecules, water molcules, and energy

**Oxygen is used to create energy in cellular respiration**

(CO2 and H2O are waste products)

Answer 3

No, oxygen is not a by-product of respiration. Carbon dioxide is the product of cellular respiration.

Answer 4

Yes, oxygen is a product of cellular respiration.

The reactants are carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

Answer 5

yes

Only aerobic respiration need oxygen.Anaerobic respiration does not need

Answer 6

No,oxygen is not released during respiration. It is utilized in respiration

Answer 7

Yes, oxygen as well as glucose is taken in during cellular respiration to produce water, energy, and carbon dioxide.

Answer 8

no cellular respiration uses oxygen to release energy from food. Photosynthesis releases oxygen

Answer 9

Yes, cellular respiration is a process that uses oxygen to break down glucose and other molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells.
