How does the body take up oxygen and unload carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

because it is a tactical procedure

Answer 2

The complete reaction sequence can be summarized as follows: glucose+oxygen = carbon dioxide + water.

The breakdown occurs in a series of small steps, several of which release sufficient energy to support the conversion of ADP to ATP. The complete catabolism of one molecule of glucose provides a typical body cell a net gain of 36 molecules of ATP

Answer 3

Well, when we breathe in, the ribcage moves up and out. The diaphragm (which pushes everything up) moves down.

When we breathe out it is a different story, our ribcage does the opposite of what it does when we breathe in. So it moves down and in. The diaphragm does the opposite as well, it moves up instead of down. Pushing all the body waste (carbon dioxide) out.

Hope that answers your question.....

Answer 4

All apes, including humans, gorillas, and baboons, are mammals, and we all circulate oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide the same way. When we inhale, the air circulates around little sacs in our lungs called alveoli, which have very thin walls and lots of blood vessels. The red blood cells circulate through the lungs (courtesy of the heart) and pick up oxygen, because the iron in red blood cells is very attracted to oxygen, and it is small enough to slip between the cells that make up blood vessels. The oxygen leaves the blood when it reaches cells that need it elsewhere in the body. At the same time, the blood picks up carbon dixoide that is being given off from the cells as waste. Carbon dioxide leaves the blood in the lungs. Carbon dioxide has less affinity for your blood than oxygen, so when there is oxygen around it is just naturally replaced. You breathe it out automatically.

Answer 5

It's red blood cells that do this. They containa chemical called heamoglobin a protein that makes them red at the same time as bonding with gas particles. As they pass through the lungs cells pick up oxygen then flow through the blood and into tissues where they drop the oxygen and bond with carbon doixide and any other waste gases. They then flow back aroubd through the heart that pumps them into the lungs again and where they then drop the waste gases.

Answer 6

The ,respiratory system gets rid of all the carbon dioxide in your body

Answer 7

Same as humans init
