All living cells require oxygen to metabolize (eat) glucose (sugar) in order to generate the energy the cells require to live. Inside the cell, a chemical reaction oxidizes glucose (combines glucose with oxygen) to produce water, carbon dioxide, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is the ATP itself that provides the energy in the form the cell needs to carry out the functions that sustain its life.
Without oxygen, the call cannot create ATP, and without ATP, the cell starves and dies. When too many critical cells (heart, lung) die from oxygen starvation, then you die too.

Oxygen
All living organisms need water to survive, because they have cells. With air, not all living organisms need air. Some forms of bacteria do not need oxygen to live, and others can't stand oxygen.
Oxygen is produced as a by-product of photosynthesis.
plants need water, air, sunlight and oxygen.
Plants need oxygen in order to survive, and is a part of the photosynthesis process. Plants also need carbon dioxide and nitrogen to survive.
you need oxygen to survive anywhere.. most definately on saturn!!
Bacteria that need oxygen to survive are called aerobic bacteria.
oxygen
Every living creature needs oxygen to survive. Just as every living creature needs water to survive. For example, such as spiders. Yup, spiders do to need oxygen AND water to survive, and of course food. So the answer to your question would be yes, snails do need oxygen to survive.
Yes, octopuses need oxygen to survive as they breathe through gills, extracting oxygen from water to support their respiration.
food, oxygen, and water to survive.
Yes, plants need oxygen to survive. They use oxygen during respiration to convert sugars into energy for growth and other metabolic processes.
Oxygen
no
Oxygen
anaerobes
Yes, bees need oxygen to survive. Just like other living organisms, bees require oxygen for respiration to produce energy and carry out their bodily functions. Without oxygen, bees would not be able to survive.
