The net movement of oxygen into the cell is primarily driven by concentration gradients. Oxygen concentration is typically higher in the extracellular environment than inside the cell, creating a concentration gradient that favors the movement of oxygen from higher to lower concentration. This allows oxygen to diffuse into the cell until equilibrium is reached, ensuring the cell has sufficient oxygen for its metabolic needs.

What do you called the movement of the blood as it carries food and oxygen to the cell body?
The movement of the blood is called circulation.
What process is involved in the movement of O2 from the outside to the inside of a cell?
Diffusion is the process used to transport substances (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) into and out of the cell.
What cellular process causes the movement of the oxygen into the cells from the blood?
Pizza
Leaf mesophyll cell in distilled water What is the net movement in water?
net movement is in, cell will not burst as cell contains cell wall, but the cell will be very turgid.
In which phase of mitotic cell division does the chromosomal movement starts?
Chromosomal movement is present throughout the cell division, but the first prominent movement is when the cell is in metaphase where the chromosomes move to line up at the middle of the cell.
When capillaries are next to the body cells the movement of oxygen is from where?
From the blood to the cell.
What do you called the movement of the blood as it carries food and oxygen to the cell body?
The movement of the blood is called circulation.
State how the cell membrane control the passage of substance in and out of cell?
it controls the movement in and out of the cell . examples : water, food, oxygen and wastes
Osmosis always involves the movement of what?
Osmosis always involves the movement of water. During osmosis water will move in and out of the cell or membrane.
How does partial pressure affect the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood?
Partial pressure affects the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood because it is the main driving force for oxygen movement in the lungs.Oxygen passes from the air to the fluid within the alveoli, into the cell of the alveoli.
What explains why oxygen molecules diffuse across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?
Glucose is too big to pass through.
What process is involved in the movement of O2 from the outside to the inside of a cell?
Diffusion is the process used to transport substances (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) into and out of the cell.
What cellular process causes the movement of the oxygen into the cells from the blood?
Pizza
Why is movement of the blood important in terms of oxygen passing into the blood from the lungs?
Oxygen is needed by every cell of the body for respiration to release energy. The blood carries the oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.
Which process always involves the movement of materials from inside the cell to outside the cell A. Phagocytosis B. Endocytosis C. Diffusion D. Exocytosis E. Osmosis?
EXOCYTOSIS
The cell membrane and water are both involved in what material?
The movement of materials into and out of the cell
How does oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and leave the cell?
By passive diffusion down its concentration gradient, which requires no energy expenditure from the cell. Basically, if you have more oxygen outside a cell than inside a cell, it travels through channels or holes in the cell membrane until the concentration of oxygen is equal inside and outside the cell.
