Best Answer

If the lungs cannot function, the body can't get any oxygen. Oxygen is necessary for cellular respiration, the process that breaks down sugars to create energy for the cell. If cells cannot get get the energy they need to carry out vital functions, the cells will die, along with the organism they make up. In short: if the lungs don't function, the cells of the body get no oxygen, and the organism dies.
