How do bees respire?
Bees respire by a netwprk of tubes called tracheae. They let oxygen in and carbon dioxide out through their tubes-like structures.
Why is oxygen needed to produce ATP?
Oxygen is NOT needed to produce ATP. This is only true for Oxidative Phosphorylation. Substrate Level Phosphorylation does not require ATP at all. While ATP can be produced without oxygen via a process called anaerobic respiration, aerobic respiration is a much more efficient means of ATP production. Aerobic respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrates in the presence of Oxygen. Strictly speaking aerobic means in air, but it is the Oxygen in the air which is necessary for aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is in the absence of air. Aerobic respiration takes place in almost all living things. It is easy to get rid of the Carbon Dioxide and excess water; this is excretion (the removal of the toxic waste products of metabolism), and maximum energy is released from the glucose. Some organisms can respire in the absence of air: this is anaerobic respiration. This does not release so much energy and it produces much more toxic waste products. However, if Oxygen is not available, anaerobic respiration is better than nothing. When this happens in our muscles we produce lactic acid which gives you cramp.
How do frogs respire?
Frogs respire through a combination of lungs and skin. They absorb oxygen through their skin when underwater and use their lungs when on land. They rely more on their skin for respiration when submerged.
How do penguins respire?
Penguins have a respiratory system similar to other birds. They breathe air into their lungs, where oxygen is extracted and carbon dioxide is expelled. Penguins can dive underwater for extended periods of time due to adaptations such as increased oxygen storage capacity and efficient use of oxygen in their muscles.
What are 5 anaerobic organisms that do not use oxygen to respire?
Clostridium botulinum: a bacterium that causes botulism. Saccharomyces cerevisiae: a yeast used in bread making and brewing. Lactobacillus: a bacteria used in the fermentation of foods like yogurt. Methanogens: a group of archaea that produce methane as a byproduct of their metabolism. Ferrobacillus: a type of bacterium that can use iron as an electron donor in respiration.
Why must brewers take special care to prevent air from entering fermentation tanks?
There are anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. Aerobic bacteria thrive in oxygen rich environments. Oxygen is potentially lethal to anaerobic bacteria. If the system is set up to use anaerobic bacteria, you want to keep out the air which brings in oxygen to maintain the best environment for the desired bacteria.
Can enzymes respire?
Since enzymes, being proteins, do not fit the definition of living organisms, they do not respire. That having been said, enzymes do indeed play a vital role in the process of both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration. They are not alive and so do not respire, but respiration could not occur without their help.
Explain two ways in which anaerobic respiration in humans is different from aerobic respiration?
Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen and food substances are patially broken down.They releases smaller amount of energy and produces lactic acid or alcohal.In human body, anaerobic respiration often occurs in the muscles during vigorous exercise because they don't get enough oxygen. Anaerobic respiration in humans can only happen for a short amount of time. The reason for this is that Anaerobic means without oxygen, and humans need oxygen to breath. Aerobic means with oxygen, so normally humans aerobically respire. However, if you are short of breath after viscous exercise for a short period of time you anaerobically respire.
Which processes are aerobic and anaerobic?
· An anaerobic process It is the metabolic process that requires no oxygen to generate energy for example respiration in the absence of O2 is called anaerobic respiration.
Can Ecoli respire?
Yes, E. coli can respire using oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor in aerobic conditions. However, it can also use alternative terminal electron acceptors like nitrate or fumarate in anaerobic conditions for respiration.
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.
When will a cell break down glucose anaerobically?
If you break down the word aerobic: aero- "air" + bios "life". So aerobic organisms live on the presence of air, specifically oxygen. The prefix ana- is a negation, so anaerobic organisms do not require oxygen for respiration. Some organisms (called facultative anaerobes) are able to switch from aerobic to anaerobic respiration. The determining factor in the switch from aerobic to anaerobic would be the presence of oxygen. If there is no oxygen, then facultative anaerobes will respire anaerobically.
What cells carry sugar?
Generally all aerobic cells contain sugar to respire
Why must living things respire?
simply!living things like mammal other creatures must respire to release the energy form the food (glucose , proteins , lipids) the energy from the oxidation of the materials is necessary for the cells to SURVIVErespiration can be classified as anaerobic and aerobicanaerobic respiration : happens in absence of oxygen (fermentation)aerobic respiration :happens in presence of oxygengoogle it to find more on this..
Can yeast do aerobic respiration?
Yes. Yeast respire anaerobically by ethanol fermentation. This is different from the lactic acid fermentation in humans in that it produces copious amounts of ethanol and carbon dioxide rather than lactic acid. This production of ethanol and carbon dioxide makes yeast the organism of choice for the brewing of alcoholic drinks and bread-making.
Does dry seeds respire?
Yes, dry seeds can respire at a low rate through a process known as internal respiration. However, this respiration is minimal as the seeds are in a dormant state and not actively metabolizing. Once the seeds are exposed to water and conditions suitable for germination, respiration rates increase as cellular processes resume.
Why do pillbugs prefer moist environments over dry environments?
pillbugs respire efficiently in moist environments with their gills.
