Not only are oxygen molecules are transported to the toes (and other parts of the body), it is essential that they get there, as they are required by all the cells of the body.
The oxygen molecules are carried in the blood by a protein called Haemoglobin that sits in the red blood cells. Each Haemoglobin contains four iron atoms, and each of these can coordinate an oxygen molecule. This process is easily reversible and the oxygen is released in the parts of the body where it is required.

Which of these remains the same while water molecules go through the water cycle?
The ratio of oxygen to hydrogen in the molecules
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.
How does oxygen get from the atmosphere to cells in your toes and carbon dioxide get back from your toes?
Here the main function is of lungs and blood vessels.When we breathe oxygen from atmosphere get into our lungs and is absorbed into blood vessels in our lungs and these blood vessels transport oxygen to our toes from where carbon dioxide is absorbed into blood vessels and oxygen is provided to the tissues and this process goes on.
What is a protein that binds with oxygen molecules?
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule.
How oxygen enters the cells?
Oxygen is able to go into a cell by diffusion. The oxygen molecules are small enough to go through the cell membrane with that process.
Which of these remains the same while water molecules go through the water cycle?
The ratio of oxygen to hydrogen in the molecules
What food molecules go into the blood?
The small molecules such as digested fat, carbohydrates and proteins.
Why do you have low oxygen when you go high on the mountains?
Because the higher you go, the less air molecules there are.
What process does a cell with a low concentration of oxygen will likely gain oxygen molecules from an area with a higher oxygen concentration have to go through?
Diffusion.
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
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.
Does oxygen exist as atoms or molecules?
molecules
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.
How does oxygen get from the atmosphere to cells in your toes and carbon dioxide get back from your toes?
Here the main function is of lungs and blood vessels.When we breathe oxygen from atmosphere get into our lungs and is absorbed into blood vessels in our lungs and these blood vessels transport oxygen to our toes from where carbon dioxide is absorbed into blood vessels and oxygen is provided to the tissues and this process goes on.
