The chest cavity expands air is sucked into the nose and enters the upper airway. The oxygen molecule gets filtered, humidified, and warmed as it passes through the Nasopharynx and Conchae by being thrashed around. Next the molecule will pass the Oropharynx of the mouth into the Laryngopharynx, passing the Epiglottis and Glottis into the Trachea of the lower airway.
Did you remember the map?From the Trachea the oxygen molecule has to make a decision to go left or right. It decides to go right and travels into the Right Main Stem Bronchus and then into the Bronchi and even smaller Bronchioles and finally into the grape like Alveoli. Keep Your Hands Inside the Vehicle At All Times!The oxygen molecule in the Alveolus is passed to the Pulmonary Capillaries through the Respiratory Membrane. Through the process of a Concentration Gradient, the concentration of PCO² (45mmgH) is higher than the PO²(40mmgH) within Pulmonary Capillaries. The oxygen molecule attaches to Hemoglobin (one of four oxygen molecules to attach to one of 280 million Hemoglobins in a Red Blood Cell (RBC)).The oxygen molecule rides its host RBC through the Pulmonary Venules, the Superior Pulmonary Vein, and the Left Atrium, through the Bicuspid or Mitral Valve, and into the Left Ventricle.

∙ 9y agoRespiration can be defined as the process by which an organism takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, one in which the circulating medium of the organism (e.g., the blood) comes into contact with air or dissolved gases. That carbon dioxide is then taken into a plant and released as oxygen and the cycle starts over again.

What are similarities between human life cycle and plant life cycle?
It is different from the plants life cycle because humans produce babies and plants produce seeds
What function do plant have in the forest in the carbon cycle?
They take it in as carbon dioxide and let our oxygen.
Which function would be performed durning respiration in a plant but not in a human?
There are a few functions that are performed during respiration in a plant but not in a human. One of these functions is breathing out oxygen.
What is the definition of photosynthesis for kids?
Photosynthesis - The cycle of plants and how they make energy! The sun(light energy), water, minerals and carbon dioxide are all absorbed by the plant. The plant then uses them to make glucose/sugar, which is the energy/food for the plant. Oxygen is also produced by the plant in this cycle, which is then let off into the air! Have you noticed how clean and pure the air feels when there are plants around? They are filling the air with oxygen!
After mitosis a cell plant is formed between 2 plant cells during what phase of the cell cycle does this occur?
Telophase.
What are similarities between human life cycle and plant life cycle?
It is different from the plants life cycle because humans produce babies and plants produce seeds
What is oxygen-carbon dioxide cycles?
the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle is how a human breathes out carbon dioxide and it goes to a plant and the plant breathes out oxygen and it goes to the human and that's how they get energy
What is the difference between a human life cycle and a plant life cycle?
a plants life is longer and the plant can develop for items.
What is the relationship between the oxygen cycle and the carbon cycle?
The carbon and oxygen cycle are related by complementary relationship. For example whenever animals and humans breath they breath in oxygen and breath out carbon. Another example is plant and trees tack in carbon for nutrients and releases oxygen.
How do you describe the movement oxygen and carbon dioxide between living things in the environment?
It is a cyclic movement. There are an oxygen cycle, a carbon cycle and a nitrogen cycle. Oxygen is inhaled by animals, who them exhale it as carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is inhaled by green plant life, where it undergoes photosynthesis, and is exhaled as oxygen. The carbon remaining in the plant as biomass. The carbon in biomass is eaten by animals. Animals then convert carbon to carbon dioxide and exhale it. It then undergoes photosynthesis, and thre carbon component is retained in the plant as biomass.
What is the source of the earths oxygen?
Green plant life. Carbon dioxide in absorbed by green plant leaf. It undergoes photosynthesis in the plant; the oxygen is released back into the atmosphere and the carbon is retained in the plant as biomass. It is part of the Carbon / Oxygen cycle.

What function do plant have in the forest in the carbon cycle?
They take it in as carbon dioxide and let our oxygen.
What is the difference between a human nerve cell and plant guard cell?
Human nerve cells allows information from the brain to be carried to other parts of the body BUT plant guard cells allows the amount of oxygen to enter the stomata.
How is the balance mainted between the volume of carbon dioxide and oxygen in atmosphere?
The balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained in the atmosphere by the oxygen released by plant during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide released by human ,animal's etc in the atmosphere
What is the name of the device in a power plant cycle that is used to remove oxygen from feedwater that is sent to the boiler?
deaerator
