Like any engine, our organs require energy in order to function. Energy is gained from our daily food intake and the sugar and fat reserves of the body.
Oxygen is absolutely necessary for the process because with its help, a kind of controlled burning of the nutrients can take place in the cells. Every cell in the body carries out certain tasks and functions: our heart and muscle cells pump blood around the circulation, kidney and liver cells deal with the removal of waste and nerve cells enable us to think and feel.
On average we take 16 breaths each minute and inhale vital oxygen every time. Under normal circumstances air contains 21% oxygen. Oxygen (O2) gets into the body via the lungs and to a small extent, through the skin.
Inhaled oxygen is passed via the pulmonary alveoli to the red blood agent, Haemoglobin, which transports it in the blood stream via the arteries to the remotest regions of the body and supplies all organs and cells with oxygen.
As a result of this process, carbon dioxide is produced in the body's cells as a waste metabolic gas. The carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by the cells when the body burns food and energy is expelled into the veins. The CO2 attaches itself to the red blood cells and is transported to the lungs, where it is released by the red blood cells and exchanged for fresh oxygen. The CO2 is then removed from the body by exhaling.
The carbon dioxide is dissolved in your blood. The blood travels round the body, to the lungs. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are exchanged during breathing. The Carbon Dioxide is exhaled from the lungs, through the mouth.
The byproducts of cellular respiration are water, ammonia and carbon dioxide. These are not used by the cell. Carbon dioxide is removed from the body through respiration. Ammonia and water are removed from the body through urine.
Red blood cells take carbon dioxide (CO2) away from body tissues. The carbon dioxide is then transported to the lungs where it can be exhaled.
The carbon dioxide will move in because if the amount of carbon dioxide fluid is greater outside the cell then the carbon dioxide will diffuse in so that the amount of carbon dioxide inside and outside of the cell will be an equillibrium
Yes
Carbon dioxide leaves a cell during cellular respiration because it is a waste to the human body and other mammals. If carbon dioxide remains in the blood for too long, the individual will pass out. When carbon dioxide leaves the cell, it leaves our body when we exhale.

Oxygen becomes carbon dioxide when it acts as a means of transporting carbon out of the cell. Oxygen (O2) is brought to any cell in the body by the bloodstream, where it picks up some of the cells carbon (C) waste. Hence, it becomes CO2, or carbon dioxide.
Blood is a transport fluid. It mainly transports oxygenated blood (blood containing oxygen) from the heart around the body to every cell. Carbon dioxide, which is a waste produced in cellular respiration, is removed from the cell into the blood, and replaced with oxygen. The carbon dioxide is then transported in deoxygenated blood (blood containing carbon dioxide) towards the heart and lungs (through veins) to be expelled from the body. So basically, blood must be delivered to cells in the body to supply oxygen for cellular activities, supply essential nutrients to the cell, and remove waste products (such as carbon dioxide) from the cell.
Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) are responsible for carrying oxygen (or carbon dioxide) around the body.
The byproducts of cellular respiration are water, ammonia and carbon dioxide. These are not used by the cell. Carbon dioxide is removed from the body through respiration. Ammonia and water are removed from the body through urine.
We take O2 , it goes to the cell of our body . There are C6H12O6 in our cell . When the oxygen goes to cell the glucose of cell reacts with oxygen and after the reaction the carbon-di-oxide creates , and the blood carry it and when we breath out it goes out from our body . So when we breath out , the carbon dioxide increase . REACTION ON CELL : C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 +6H2O + ATP
Red blood cells take carbon dioxide (CO2) away from body tissues. The carbon dioxide is then transported to the lungs where it can be exhaled.
The ameba gets rid of carbon dioxide and excess water by the process of exocytosis. This is the process by which gases and other wastes leave the cell through the cell membrane.
Carbon dioxide, made by the cells as they do their work, moves out of the cells into the capillaries, where most of it dissolves in the plasma of the blood. Blood rich in carbon dioxide then returns to the heart via the veins.
