Mitochondria are sometimes called the "powerhouses" of the cell. The energy is released by combining food with oxygen, in a process called aerobic respiration. The oxygen from the food is needed to help the cell move and grow.

Where does oxygen go after it passes through the the cell membrane?
The Mitochondria
What does oxygen do as a component of blood?
Oxygen is used to produce ATP in the mitochondria, which powers our cells to do its functions.
Where do red blood cells obtain oxygen?
The lungs, as blood passes through the lungs, they deposit carbon and receive oxygen.
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the blood?
As blood passes through lungs, there is exchange of oxygen and carbon bi oxide, from high concentration to low concentration and oxygen enters the blood from air to blood to make it oxygen rich.
What is bigger a oxygen molecule or a mitochondria?
mitochondria
Where does oxygen go after it passes through the the cell membrane?
The Mitochondria
Oxygen passes into the blood and carbon dioxide passes out of the blood in the?
alveoli
Oxygen passes from the blood into organs through the walls of?
Oxygen passes from the blood into organs through the wall of capillaries.
What happens when blood passes by alveoli?
blood take oxygen from blood.
Where is the blood given oxygen?
the blood is given oxygen as it passes next to the alveoli in the lungs. The process by which the blood gets oxygen is called diffusion
What does oxygen do as a component of blood?
Oxygen is used to produce ATP in the mitochondria, which powers our cells to do its functions.
What passes through the body organs?
Blood and oxygen.
Which gas passes out of the blood into the body's cell?
oxygen
In gas exchange what passes from the blood to the alveoli?
Oxygen
What passes from the blood into the body's cells?
Blood brings food and oxygen to your cells.
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What happens when the blood passes the lung?
It picks up oxygen
