Where in your body is oxygen use?
In the mitochondria of your cells.
Blood cells that use protein to capture and carry oxygen is?
Blood cells use a protein called hemoglobin to capture oxygen.
What cells use energy released through respiration to transmit messages through the body?
oxygen oxygen
Why is oxygen important to blood and other cells?
Oxygen is needed for respiration. This is how all our cells release energy. All the body cells and white blood cells therefore need oxygen. Red blood cells don't use oxygen, they undergo anaerobic respiration, but they transport the oxygen needed by other cells.
The use for red blood cells?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to body cells. This occurs with the assistance of hemoglobin in the cell.
Why do you breathe faster after running hard and after playing hard?
Breathing is when your body is getting oxygen to your cells. When you are physically active your cells use the oxygen faster so you have to breathe faster to get the same amount of oxygen to your cells
Function of a human lung?
The lungs extract oxygen from the atmosphere for body cells to use.
what substance do cells need to get energy from food?
When you become more active your cells need more oxygen and glucose, and when your body releases energy, glucose or other organic fuels in the presence of air is called aerobic respiration. aerobic respiration is in the absence of air.
Use of iron in your body?
Haemoglobin. This is needed to carry oxygen around the body and occurs in red blood cells
Function of oxygen in human body?
Cells use oxygen in the process of getting energy from sugars. The oxygen is used at the very end of that process - to pick up the electrons that have passed through the electron transport chain. That's when the most ATP are made, preparing energy for the cell to use for its activities.
What do the cells use for energy when there is no oxygen for the cells?
Cells use anaerobic respiration when there is no oxygen available.
Where in your body can you use anaerobic respiration?
In your muscle cells. In your case, the only fermentation your cells are going through is lactic acid fermentation (and not alcohol fermentation). Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen. If there is oxygen present, then your cells will go through aerobic respiration normally. However, there are times when your cells lack oxygen, as in intense exercise. When cells can do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, it is called facultative respiration.
