What do we need oxygen for?
We need oxygen for our cells to be able to convert food into energy. We breath in order to bring oxygen from the air into our bodies and carry it in the blood to our cells. Because we practice aerobic respiration we would die without oxygen. Some things, particularly many bacteria, can live without oxygen because they respire anaerobically.
Why is oxygen important to blood and other cells?
Oxygen is needed for respiration. This is how all our cells release energy. All the body cells and white blood cells therefore need oxygen. Red blood cells don't use oxygen, they undergo anaerobic respiration, but they transport the oxygen needed by other cells.
Why is oxygen needed in blood?
Because your cells need oxygen. Blood has Hemoglobins inside it, which carry oxygen.
Why is oxygen important for humans?
oxygen is important for all living creatures because it is important for our cells to survive. Cells within our body need oxygen in order for them to perform their function. If our body does not have enough oxygen, our cells will not be working properly. If total oxygen is removed, our cells will die and eventually so will the person.
Where do red blood cells get oxygen?
If by that you mean where they get their own oxygen, then from nowhere because red blood cells do not need oxygen, they perform all reactions anaerobically.If you mean where they get it to give off for the rest of your body, then its from the lungs.
A substance from digested food that all your cells need?
oxygen
Do bones respirate?
Absolutly, well sorta, all tissues of the body need oxygen to survive. but what most people think of as bones are just the hard calcium and mineral structure that is left behind when we perish. however inner area's of the bone called marrow need oxygen to make blood cells. their are also cells in bone called osteoblasts which constantly build bone and osteoclasts which constantly break down bone these cells in a nutshell keep the bones in good repair. to do their job they need oxygen. do the minerals that make bones hard and durable need oxygen? nope. dose everything else in bones need it ? absolutly
Why do cells need energy oxygen and food?
So they can survive, And reproduce
What are the three thing plant cells and animal cells need?
Water, Oxygen and organic food for energy
When muscle cells or do work they need more food and oxygen?
Yes that is correcet
What are the basic compounds that human cells need to survive?
water oxygen food waste disposal
What does oxygen do in your body apart from breathing?
Your cells need oxygen to turn food into energy, reproduce, and basically perform all of their tasks.
Why do animals need a continuous supply of oxygen?
Animals need a continuous supply of oxygen because it obtains energy from their food. To acquire such energy from food, cells in animals require a steady supply of ATP in order to function. To produce this ATP, cellular respiration requires oxygen. Without ATP, cells and the organism will die so therefore, animals need a continuous supply of oxygen to survive.
What gas do muscle cells need?
All cells need Oxygen.
How do your cells get raw materials that they need to respire?
Through the food you eat and the air you breath!
What do cells need to have if they need to survive?
oxygen
What is red cell metabolism?
cells need oxygen and a food supply to servive and once used up they die
