Can cellular respiration occur without photosynthesis?

Yes, cellular respiration can occur without photosynthesis. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy, while photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. While photosynthesis provides the initial energy source for most living organisms, some organisms (like animals) rely on consuming other organisms for energy through cellular respiration.


What is aerobic cellular repiration?

A) glucose → lactic acid + energy B) energy + carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen + water C) glucose → ethyl alcohol + carbon dioxide + energy D) glucose + lactose → galactose + water E) glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy From sallydeath


Can an organism carry out cellular respiration without photosynthesis how about photosynthesis without cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is possible without photosynthesis in an organism but photosynthesis is not possible without cellular respiration.


Do your body cells always use cellular respiration to break down glucose?

No, different cells can use different processes to break down glucose for energy. Some cells, like muscle cells, can also rely on anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen. Additionally, some cells, like cancer cells, may favor glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen.


What is cellular respiration and where it occurs in a cell?

Cellular respiration is a process that releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present. It takes place in the mitochondria. :) -Biology Textbook

The portion of aerobic respiration that produces the most ATP per molecule of glucose is?

Cellular RespirationSource: Holt Biology by Johnson Raven* Aerobic cellular respiration. Anaerobic cellular respiration yields a net gain of 2 ATP molecules for each glucose molecule broken down. Aerobic respiration yields a variable number, but always more than ten times as many ATP molecules.

What materials are produced by cellular respiration?

The cellular respiration equation is as follows:C6H12O6 + O2 = CO2 + H2O and for cells +ATPSo, you need C6H12O6, which is glucose and O2 which is oxygen. Not only glucose will help cellular respiration. You can also have proteins or lipids/fats to have it work. Glucose is what I was always taught. Hope this answers your question!


What biological process carbon dioxide water glucose water oxygen This process is completed in what?

Glucose + oxygen ----> CO_2 + water ... cellular respiration CO_2 + water ---> Glucose + oxygen ... photosynthesis There's no point having water on both sides of the equation you can always reduce it to just one side. Cellular Respiration


Cellular respiration produces what?

If you think Cellular respiration and photosynthesis confuse you, think about yourself. What do you exhale when you breath. Cellular respiration relates to the " breathing" Your cells burn Glucose in order to function and in order to burn glucose you need O2 gas which you get it through inhaling. After when you exhale you produce CO2 + H2O which the plants will use in their photosynthesis process. A hint: Always when you see the word combustion or burning you will have this equation>>. The element you are given(x)+ O2-----> CO2+ H2O In one words cellular respiration produce CO2 and H2O


Why is the mitochondria the site of aerobic cellular respiration?

All the enzymes required for the aerobic respiration(respiration requiring oxygen) are present in mitochondria,thus it always takes place in mitochondria.However,anaerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm of cell because all the required enzymes are present in cytoplasm


Is aerobic cellular respiration exergonic?

Yes, cellular respiration is an example of an exergonic reaction (releasing energy for usage) as opposed to photosynthesis (the plant's need the sun's energy to create glucose) an endergonic reaction.Why? Cellular respiration breaks down glucose molecules(which contain energy), so energy is released. The reactants start with a high level of energy(the reactants are whole glucose molecules) and the products are created with a low level of energy because energy is released. The energy that is released from this process can be used to perform work in the cell.No, it releases energy.


If an eukaryotic cell is doing anaerobic respiration how many food molecules would it need to process the same amount of energy as it would using aerobic cellular respiration?

If the cell is performing anaerobic respiration, this is called fermentation. Fermentation produces a net gain of two ATP molecules and uses two molecules of glucose (food). Aerobic respiration known as cellular respiration produces a net gain of 38 ATP molecules.
