- When a person inhales, oxygen contained in air enters the body through the nose and the mouth.
- Oxygen-rich air travels through the upper and lower respiratory tracts into the lungs.
- In the tiniest branches of the lungs, the alveoli remove carbon dioxide and prepare oxygen for transport into the circulatory system.
- Oxygen transfers through diffusion from the alveoli to the capillaries. Diffusion is the process of particles of liquids, gases or solids moving from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
- The capillaries connect to the larger blood vessels, which transport oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
- The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body through the circulatory system. All of the cells in the human body use oxygen from the blood to break down glucose for energy.

What role does glucose play in cellular respiration?
it delivers oxygen
What are the 3 ways to measure cellular respiration?
Measure ATP production, carbon dioxide production, and oxygen use For one molecule of glucose, you will get the most ATP if using cellular respiration as opposed to just glycolysis More carbon dioxide will be produced if using cellular respiration
Describe the role of fermentation in the second stage of cellular respiration?
It frees up NADH to be used in glycolysis again.
What is the role of food water and oxygen in the creation of ATP?
Water nurtures the blood and oxygen plays a vital role in keeping you breathing. Food fuels the entire process.
What does respiratory system and cellular respiration have in common?
Both of them take oxygen in and give up carbon bi oxide.
Where is the primary role of oxygen in cellular respiration chain located?
The primary role of oxygen in aerobic respiration is to be the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. This occurs at the mitochondrial inner membrane.
What role does the oxygen in cellular respiration play?
Oxygen is used for oxidation of organic compounds to release energy
Aerobic cellular respiration?
The breaking down of sugar to produce energy where oxygen is present.
What are 3 organic compounds in cellular respiration?
The role of organic compounds in cellular respiration is to start cellular respiration. Cellular Respiration is a process that creates ATP. So, in order to create ATP you'll need organic compounds. Organic Compounds are converted into ATP during Cellular Respiration. This is the role of organic compound in cellular respiration.
What role does oxygen play in the harvesting of energy?
It is the final electron receptor in the process of cellular respiration.
What role does glucose play in cellular respiration?
it delivers oxygen
What is the role of ADP in respiration?
if by resperation, you mean cellular respiration, then using glucose and oxygen, Cellular Respiration makes carbon dioxide, water, and chemical energy in the form of 36 ATP
What is the role of germinating soybeans in cellular respiration experiment?
go to the process of cellular respiration.
Does chloroplast make cellular respiration?
No,it has no role in cellular respiration.But it takes part in photo respiration.
What is the role of oxygen in the cell?
oxygen helps in growing the cells , producing desired product
What role dos oxygen play in cellular respiration?
O2 is the final acceptor in the electron transport chain.
This is the electron carrier in cellular respiration?
In most cases iron shift between ferrous and ferric states to carry and transport electrons in cellular respiration. The cytochrome b and c complexes also play a major role. In aerobic organisms, oxygen is the final electron acceptor in cellular respiration.
