This is the process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the precence of oxygen

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is defined as the oxidation (break down in the presence of oxygen) of organic food substances within the cell leading to the release of energy, carbon dioxide and water.

It can be represented by the equation:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy (in form of ATP)

Thus, the main purpose of cellular respiration that takes place in a cell is to generate energy required by the whole body.

a. decomposes use carbon from dead organisms as fuel for cellular respiration, returning carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.

the relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element, relative to 1/12th of the mass of a  1212c atom. to convert to an absolute mass in kg, it is necessary to multiply by  1.661×10−271.661×10−27.

the relative atomic mass is roughly equal to the number of neutrons, plus the number of protons, in the nucleus of the atom.

for elements with more than one stable isotope (different types of nucleus with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons), the quoted mass is usually the average mass, weighted by the relative abundance of the different isotopes.
