<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2 /><h2> $\Huge\boxed{\text{Oxygen}}$ </h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2> $\Huge\textbf{Cellular Respiration}$ </h2>

Cellular respiration is the process through which cells convert sugars into energy. The energy comes from the fuel molecules such as Glucose(sugar) or Lipids(fats). In cellular respiration, Glucose molecule is dismantled in the presence of oxygen. The bonds between the glucose break forming a simpler molecule and energy is released in small amounts. Some of the energy is stored by cell in the form of ATP while rest is lost as heat. So, ATP is formed from glucose through endergonic and exergonic reactions. The aerobic breakdown of glucose molecule accompanying synthesis of ATP is called celluar respiration. Carbon dioxide and water are produced as by-products.

$\Large\textbf{Cellular Respiration Equation}$

$\text{C_6H_12O_6}/ + \text{6O_2} {\Longrightarrow}$ ${C_6H_{12}O_6}\ + {6O_2}\ {\longrightarrow}\ 6CO_2\ +\ 6H_2O\ (ATP\ +\ Heat)$

$\texttt{(i)}$ Aerobic Reaction: Aero = air, bic = life and Respiration.

Most of the organisms are aerobes. They breakdown sugar involving participation of molecule of oxygen and release the energy in the form of ATP and release carbon dioxide and water as by-product.

$\texttt{(ii)}$ Anaerobic Reaction: An = Without, aero = Air, bic = Life and Respiration.

Some organisms obtain energy by braking down sugar in absence of oxygen. This type of respiration is called anaerobic respiration and organism are called anaerobes. Many micro-organism including yeast can repire anaerobically.

There are 2 types of anaerobes,

Obligate Anaerobes - Which never need oxygen
Facultative Anaerobes - Which can respire with/without oxygen

Lelu [443]

Answer:

It causes oxygen depletion in the water

Explanation:

When the amounts of organic matter in the water are significant, the activity of aerobic bacteria and other decomposers increases.

Organic matter suffers decomposition in the presence of oxygen. Microorganisms degrade it while consuming dissolved oxygen in the process. Bacteria show fast and exponential growth, so the more organic matter, the more aerobic bacteria, and the less available oxygen in the water.

Organisms that usually inhabit these waters are affected by the lack of oxygen. Plants, algae, animals, and other invertebrates that need it to survive, find themselves limited in these environmental conditions. Eventually, they dye and contribute with more organic matter.

Little by little, sedimentation begins caused by the death of vegetables and animals, sinking in the bottom.

When oxygen disappears, anaerobic bacteria grow and act, producing fermentation.
