What is the process called in which oxygen enters the body and carbon dioxide exits the body?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide travel into and out of the bloodstream via diffusion across alveolar and capillary membranes.
Where does carbon dioxide leave the body?
The red blood cells in your body contain oxygen and carbon dioxide. So, as the red blood cells travel through your bloodstream, the oxygen travels through to your heart, then your lungs, along with the oxygen.
How do your hormones travel?
The endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The hormones then travel to target tissues via the circulatory system.
Can sound travel through carbon dioxide?
Yes
Which gases must travel across a reptile egg?
carbon dioxide
Why is carbon dioxide important to the respiratory system?
During the respiratory system, oxygen travels through the respiratory tract and diffuses to the red blood cells from alveoli which receives carbon dioxide from the RBC's. The carbon dioxide comes from cells in the body. When the RBC's travel through the body to transfer oxygen to the cells it receives carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide enters the alveoli and travels through the respiratory tract and is breathed out.
What are hormones and what are they used for?
Hormones are chemical messengers. They travel in your bloodstream to tissues and organs. They affect many different processes, including growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction. They are secreted directly into your bloodstream by endocrine glands, such as the pituitary, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes.
How does a carbon atom travel through a plant?
It spends its time as carbon dioxide or as an organic compound (like glucose). Carbon dioxide is converted into glocose as food for the plant during photosynthesis and is turned back after cellular respiration unless it stays as an organic compound.
How is the movement of oxygen in the body similar to the movement of carbon dioxide?
Both Glucose and Carbon Dioxide don't pass through the red blood cells but stay in the yellow watery part of the blood called plasma
Do xylem travel up or down?
Both, it takes water and Carbon Dioxide up and it lets out Oxegen.
Does acetic acid consumed as food vinegar enter the bloodstream?
Yes, but only to be absorbed in the liver and put through the Kreb's cycle of energy production. In general, acetic acid is treated as an input for the aerobic respiration cycle and does not travel in the systemic bloodstream as a nutrient for other tissues.
What organs do hormones travel from endocrine glands through bloodstream?
Hormones travel from endocrine glands through bloodstream to target organs.
