What happens when water boils? A: Quick Answer. Water boils when the thermal energy in the water, which is a type of kinetic energy which causes the water molecules to move around, exceeds the strength of the hydrogen bonds between the molecules, causing them to separate from the other molecules.
Best Answer: Actually they are not directly related. As temperature increases, so does cellular respiration, BUT only up to a certain point, where it becomes too hot-in which cells start dying. As temperature decreases, cellular respiration slows down, until they too, die. The optimum temperature for cellular respiration is just in between-not to hot, not too cold. For humans, this is about body temperature- 37 degrees celsius.
Cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. Regular cellular respiration is aerobic (requires oxygen), but some simple organisms can only do anaerobic cellular respiration.
