Cellular respiration generates ATP using a complex cycle of reactions and gradients. ATP is the driving force of life, so all cells in plants AND animals need to produce ATP to survive. Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down C6H12O6 (Glucose) and other food molecules in the presence of O2 (Oxygen). After cellular respiration takes place, the end product is CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) H2O (Water) and "free" energy. The 62% of free energy left is released as heat, that is why you feel warm after you have exercised and are breathing heavy, a.k.a cellular RESPIRATION. So basically while you're breathing in oxygen, the food you ate contains sugar and carbohydrates that are going to be broken down to get more energy for you to continue walking, jogging, running, etc.
Living things need to carry out this process because without it, you wouldn't last more than 5-10 minutes out exercising because you wouldn't have any energy for you to carry out your daily activities. Oh yeah by the way, ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate, which is sort of like the cells battery because it is capable or storing and releasing energy. It stores the energy in the bonds between the phosphates.
What else can I help you with?
Why all living things need to respire?
They need to respire because they need to grow, produce and repair.
How can i describe the role of matter in living and nonliving things?
Living things differ from non-living things because living things can function by themselves and don't need to be controlled by humans.
What type of respiration occurs in all living things?
Anaerobic Respiration. All living organisms have the ability to respire (if only for a short period of time) without the presence of oxygen.
Do all living things resperate?
No, not all living things respire. Only organisms that require oxygen to generate energy through the process of cellular respiration, such as animals and most plants, respire. Some organisms, like anaerobic bacteria, can generate energy through other means and do not respire in the same way.
Which living things give off CO2?
Every living organism gives off carbon dioxide and even plants do when they are not photosynthesizing.
Do other living things respire?
yes all living things respire, including plants. it happens in the mitochondria of the cell.
Why all living things need to respire?
They need to respire because they need to grow, produce and repair.
Do human respire?
Yes, humans do respire. Respiration is one of the seven life processes, you have to respire to live, humans are living things so they do respire.
Why living thing respire?
Living things respire because the Krebbs cycle is an important means of making ATP available to power biological processes.
What is a seven letter word that starts with r that living things can do this?
respire
How can i describe the role of matter in living and nonliving things?
Living things differ from non-living things because living things can function by themselves and don't need to be controlled by humans.
How do living things respirate?
living thing respire by taking oxygen in and carbon dioxide out of the cell
What three things do living things do?
some specifications of living beings are they respire they breathe they move they respond
What two things which living things can do?
Move Respire Excrete Nutrition Sensitivity Reproduction Growth
What all living things need?
Living things need food, water, shelter, and air to survive. These essential resources provide the necessary nutrients and support for living organisms to grow, reproduce, and thrive in their environments.
Do shellfish poop?
yes they are living things and all living things have to: move, respire, eat, EXCRETE, reproduce, grow and one other thing but i cant remember. Anyway shellfish are living so they have to excrete, which is to poop.
What is the respiratory organ of an adult frog?
As all living things respire, even toads do respire too. It is just the matter of the way the living things respire. Toads breathe through their skin with whats called cutaneous gas exchange. They also have lungs for when they're out and about, but when in hibernation or submerged in water, they just use their skin. (Did I answer the question?) :D
