What is the journey of an oxygen molecule through the respiratory system?
Nose>>>pharynx>>>larynx >>>trachea >>>bronchus >>>bronchiole >>>alveolus
Do oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through the walls of the trachea?
No.
What happens when a molecule combusts?
Combines with oxygen
What happens when molecule combusts?
Combines with oxygen
The life cycle of an oxygen molecule?
an oxygen molecule is inhaled and then goes through the blood
What is the path of an oxygen molecule when it enters the human body?
Nostrils-Pharynx-Trachea(Wind Pipe)-Bronchi-Bronchioles-Alveoli
What happens when water molecule and oxygen molecule are put in the contain what?
Nothing would happen. You would just have a mixture of water and oxygen.
What is the order of the structures that oxygen passes through between your nose?
Oxygen enters your nose,then goes through the trachea,to the bronchi,and last to your lungs.
What is the order of structures that oxygen passes through between your nose and your bloodstream?
Oxygen enters your nose,then goes through the trachea,to the bronchi,and last to your lungs.
What happens to the air as it travels in the body?
When we breathe oxygen.The oxygen then goes down the trachea and through the bronchiole tubes and into the lungs, where it meets the alveoli. The Oxygen in the alveoli then diffuses through the alveoli and through the capillaries in the lungs. The capillaries are only one cell thick, thus making it easier for the oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through. The carbon dioxide diffuses through, in the other direction from, the capillaries to the alveoli, where it can leave the body via the bronchiole tubes, trachea and exiting out the mouth and we end up breathing out oxygen. Also the name for when we breathe oxygen and and breathe out carbon dioxide is "gas exchange"
How does oxygen circulate in the body?
Oxygen circulates through the body in blood. A molecule of oxygen (O2) from the lungs binds loosely to a molecule of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. The red blood cell travels through the capillaries and the oxygen molecule is released from the hemoglobin and is delivered to the cells.
Where do arthorpods get their oxygen?
Arthropods have trachea through which air can circulate. Arthropods have very small openings in their body through which oxygen enters and is distributed throughout their system.
