Oxygen doesn't produce anything. It is vitally important in the electron transport chain of the mitochondria as an electron acceptor than then binds with two hydrogens to make water so that ATP can be produced in a greater quantity than by glycolysis alone.

Cells produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of what molecule?

Oxygen. Cells can produce much more ATP from glucose in the presence of Oxygen (aerobic respiration) than without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) in a process called oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in the mitochondria of cells. In the presence of oxygen one glucose can be broken down to produce 36 ATP Without oxygen, only 4 ATP can be made


How are the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

they are alike because in photosynthesis plants create oxygen. cells use the oxygen that plants produce in cellular respiration to get cells oxygen.there for it makes a cycle. plants produce oxygen,cells take oxygen,we produce carbondioxide, plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis.


What cells in your body can produce energy with out oxygen?

What process is oxygen cells produce?

The process in which cells produce energy using oxygen is called cellular respiration. This process involves breaking down glucose molecules in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell.


What gas do your cells have to have produce energy?

Oxygen is requried for respiration (your cells making 'energy'.)


When plant cells use food which substance do they produce?

oxygen


What do the cells use for energy when there is no oxygen for the cells?

Cells can produce energy through a process called anaerobic respiration when there is no oxygen available. During anaerobic respiration, cells break down glucose to produce energy without using oxygen. This process produces lactic acid or alcohol as byproducts.


What gas is produced by the cells?

Cells can produce a variety of gases depending on what kind of cells they are and from what organism; most commonly cells can produce Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen or Nitric Oxide.


When no oxygen is present for muscle cells after glycolysis what will the cell produce?

In the absence of oxygen after glycolysis, muscle cells will produce lactic acid through the process of fermentation. This allows the cells to regenerate NAD+ needed for glycolysis to continue in the absence of oxygen.


What brings oxygen to the cells for respiration?

The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body through inhalation. Oxygen is then carried by red blood cells in the bloodstream to the cells for cellular respiration, where it is used to produce energy.


In cellular respiration what do cells use to produce energy from food?

Oxygen


Why do animal cells need oxygen most directly?
