Cellular respiration
The process of respiration takes in oxygen. In this process, oxygen is inhaled into the lungs and diffuses into the bloodstream where it is carried to cells to produce energy.
Nutrients and oxygen are carried to the cells of the body by the bloodstream. Nutrients are mostly transported by the circulatory system after being absorbed from the digestive system, while oxygen is carried by red blood cells through the process of respiration.
When oxygen is carried to cells, it is used to release energy from glucose molecules through a process called cellular respiration. This process generates ATP, the energy currency of the cell, which is essential for various cellular functions and activities.
Oxygen is carried by red blood cells in the bloodstream to the kidneys. Hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells, binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to the cells in the kidneys as blood flow through the renal arteries. This process ensures that the cells in the kidneys receive the necessary oxygen for their metabolic functions.

OXYGEN
Oxygen is carried by red blood cells in the bloodstream and delivered to cells through a process called diffusion. Oxygen diffuses from areas of high concentration in the bloodstream into cells where it is needed for cellular respiration. This process is facilitated by the presence of hemoglobin in red blood cells, which binds to oxygen and releases it when needed by cells.
Oxygen is inhaled through the lungs, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream and carried by red blood cells to all the cells in the body. The red blood cells release the oxygen to the tissues and cells, where it is used to produce energy through a process called cellular respiration.
cells use the oxygen to release chemical energy.
