Describe the passage of the oxygen molecules from the air into a responding body cell?

The oxygen enters the body via the nose and mouth then travels down the trachea ( wind pipe ) then breaks into two bronchi (the bronchi splits the air into each lung) which then branches into lots of bronchioles which end in lots of alvioli

∙ 14y agoOxygen enters the human body via the nose and/or mouth. The air flows down the trachea, through the bronchial tubes, through the brinchioles and into the alveoli (air sacs). From here, blood flows past the alveoli and the oxygen diffuses across a semi-permeable membrane into the blood, as carbon-dioxide diffuses back the opposite direction into the alveoli. The carbon-dioxide-rich air is then exhaled while the now oxygenated blood flows back to the heart via the pulmonary vein.
It enters the left atrium, flows into the left ventricle (the larger of the two ventricles) and then is pumped throughout the body via arteries. The oxygenated blood reaches its destination (any tissue in the human body, from the brain to the feet), the oxygen exchanges across the capillaries into the individual cells and is used to perform cellular respiration (along with glucose) to form ATP (energy) for our body to carry out a vast amount of functions.
The deoxygenated blood then flows back to the right atrium via the venous system, goes into the right ventricle and is pumped back to the lungs via the pulmonary artery to start the process all over again.

From there it goes to secondary and tertiary bronchus. This process continue for about seventeen generations and then the oxygen reach to your alveolus.

How much ozone can you make with 9 oxygen particles?
The term "oxygen particles" is not well defined, since it might refer to either oxygen atoms or oxygen molecules. Chemists would never describe oxygen in terms of particles, they would be specific. Ozone is the O3 molecule, containing 3 oxygen atoms. If you had 9 oxygen atoms you could make three ozone molecules. But if you had 9 oxygen molecules, you could make 6 ozone molecules, since the oxygen molecule is O2 and contains two oxygen atoms.
In what location do the RBC shed the oxygen molecules?
The RBCs shed the oxygen molecules in the capillaries
Oxygen molecules are made of 2 oxygen atoms that are bound together. Ozone molecules which are very different from oxygen molecules are made of 3 oxygen atoms that are bound together.?
Yep. That is true.
What is a protein that binds with oxygen molecules?
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule.
Which of the molecules are diatomic molecules in ethyl alcohol?
Oxygen and hydrogen have diatomic molecules.
How can you describe in words the chemical reaction represented by the equation?
2 molecules of hydrogen bond with 2 molecules of oxygen which yields 4 molecules of hydrogen and 2 molecules of oxygen
Why do oxygen molecules easily diffuse across a cell membrane while protein molecules do not?
Cell membrane is semipermeable and oxygen molecules have size required for easy passqge while Glucose molecules do not have that size required for easy passage.

What are the total number of atoms in two oxygen molecules?
There are 4 oxygen atoms in two oxygen molecules.
In what location do the RBC shed the oxygen molecules?
The RBCs shed the oxygen molecules in the capillaries
Does oxygen exist as atoms or molecules?
molecules
Oxygen molecules are made of 2 oxygen atoms that are bound together. Ozone molecules which are very different from oxygen molecules are made of 3 oxygen atoms that are bound together.?
Yep. That is true.
Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what?
Hydrogen molecules and oxygen molecules can be easily split by what electrolysis. This is the process which is used to breakdown water.
How many out of 200 air molecules are oxygen?
Air is 21% oxygen so 21% of 200 is 42 oxygen molecules.
What best describe a carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates are organic macromolecules that are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms and are used for energy storage or as structural molecules.
Are oxygen and hydrogen compounds or molecules?
Hydrogen and oxygen are elements that usually take the form of molecules.
How many molecules are in 23.0 moles in oxygen?
23 moles of oxygen contain 138,509.10e23 molecules.
