What else can I help you with?
When does respiration take place in animals?
Respiration is when oxygen combines with sugar to break down the sugar.
Why does food get stuck in esophagus and must be regurgitated so I can breathe?
Food can get stuck in the esophagus when the muscles in the esophagus don't work properly to move food down into the stomach. When this happens, regurgitating the food is necessary to clear the blockage so that you can breathe without obstruction. It's important to seek medical attention if this occurs frequently to avoid complications.
What must all organisms be able to get rid of in order to survive?
Used oxygen (carbon dioxide) and used food (feces).
What must cells have enough of to release energy from food?
Cells must have enough oxygen to release energy from food through a process called cellular respiration. Oxygen is required as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, a key step in generating ATP, the cell's main energy currency.
Why do we need oxygen?
The main purpose of oxygen in humans and other aerobic organisms is to allow the body to make energy. Energy is needed for a host of processes in the body such as growth, repair, movement, nerve conduction, etc., and can be gained from numerous sources, like carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids. However, for the body to use this energy, it must be oxidized. A molecule that is undergoing oxidation loses electrons, which store the electric and kinetic energy that the human body will use once absorbed. What this means is that when people breathe in oxygen, they can activate the latent energy that might have consumed before.
Why must you breathe?
Breathing is an absolute necessity to life. When a person breathes, the lungs exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen. Oxygen is necessary for human life.
What gas must animals breathe to live?
Oxygen. of course!! All living beings need oxygen to live on earth.
Can astronauts breathe on the moon?
No, astronauts cannot breathe on the moon because there is no atmosphere. It lacks oxygen and air pressure required for humans to breathe. Astronauts must rely on oxygen supplies within their spacesuits or habitats.
Why do space rockets carry a source of oxygen?
There is no oxygen in space, so spacecraft must carry oxygen with which to burn their fuel and, if they are manned, to allow the crew to breathe.
What are the advantages of water as respiratory media to aquatic animals?
If an animal lives in the water, it is an advantage to be able to get oxygen from the water. If the animal must breathe air, then it has to surface frequently. If it is unable to surface for some reason, it will drown.
Do river otters breathe oxygen in the air or the water?
No they do not. That's why they come up every once in a while. Mammals are animals that MUST breathe air to survive. All otters areammals
Does cells require oxygen digested food and water to respire?
I'm not 100% sure of what you are asking here, but I'll have a shot at it. You must remember that the digestive system and the respiratory system are 2 different systems of the body, i.e they do not directly affect the function of the other. As such, there is no such thing as 'oxygen digested food or water'.. the oxygen we breathe enters the cell as one input and the amino acids (that you get from digestion of the food you eat) enter as one other. So, you could still digest food 100% in a situation where there is no oxygen, and still breathe when you have not eaten any food or drink in 48 hours. In reality, however, you couldn't digest food without oxygen, because you would suffocate, which would cause your body's ability to digest food to cease. So, no is the answer to your question.
Why are green plants important to oxygen?
Plants produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis. Therefore, we, as animals who need oxygen to breathe, must have green plants in our ecosystem in order to survive.
Why do plants breathe in oxygen at night?
that's not true....like all living organisms, plants breathe in oxygen at all times..its just that they involve in photosynthesis , in addition, during daytime Plants do indeed take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen. It is the only reason we are here. Oxygen is unstable and must be constantly replenished, without the plants putting off oxygen we could not survive. It is the basic formula for life and is what we search for in the cosmos for other inhabited planets.
Why do you breathe faster when doing exercise?
because when you exercise your muscles require more oxygen so your heart will beat faster to get the oxygen to the mucsles. since your blood goes through the lungs and your heart is beating faster you must breathe faster to get a sufficient amount of oxygen.
Do seas-snakes breathe?
All sea snakes must rise to the surface to breathe occasionally, although some can remain underwater for long periods by absorbing oxygen from swallowed water.
What is the relationship between vital signs and breathing blood circulation?
if when you breathe you do not inhale enough oxygen your heart must beat faster to provide your organs etc with the oxygen needed.
