In chemistry, everything is made of atoms. In the periodic table, there are different elements. Every element is made of atoms and 02 means that there are two oxygen atoms. When there is two or more atoms, it makes a compound. When there is two oxygen atoms, the compound is oxygen in which we breathe in.

Oxygen is important for all combustion process, such as the burning of the hydrocarbon fuels Welding, using oxy-acetylene torches, is another important industrial application, whereby acetylene gas (the fuel) and oxygen are mixed in the correct proportions and ignited to provide an intensely hot flame. In the steelmaking industry huge quantities of O2 are blown through the impure molten ore, where it burns off any impurities that are present (particularly carbon).

Explain How oxygen is obtained by animals and then used by animals and then used during cellular respiration?

Diffusion, which is the process of gas transfer, for example, a muscle cell has used the oxygen given to it by the blood cells, another blood cell will carry more oxygen to the cell, and the Co2 and O2 will pass through a semi-permeable membrane (the cell) and transfer the oxygen to the animal.


How does O2 and nutrients enter the cells?

Through blood flow. O2 and other gases enter the cell by inspiration. there is some reactions that occurs in the lung. O2 is given to blood cells. there is a special pigment that is specialized for o2 captuing.it is a homeoglobin.So o2 transported to cells by this pigment.
