Molecular oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) easily cross cell membranes and therefore move by simple diffusion from high concentration to low concentration. Some nutrients also move this way, or have special transporters to allow them to move more easily into the cell. Other nutrients require energy to "pump" them into the cell, allowing cells to concentrate the nutrient.

Delivery of oxygen and nutrients?
Blood cells deliver oxygen and nutrients through the rest of the body. Blood is pumped through the lungs to collect oxygen.
What system in the human body moves the nutrients into cells and waste out of cells?
Circulatory and excretory depends on the cells XD
Does the circulatory system carry nutrients to the cells?
No, lymph doesn't do that. Blood (specifically red blood cells), a part of the cardiovascular system, carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
How does oxygen get from the blood to the cells in the tissue?
Oxygen and nutrients reach cells within tissues via the bloodstream. Blood is also responsible for transporting waste away from the cells.
How does circulation of the blood help the cells?
It supplies Oxygen to the cells and tissues and excrete Carbondioxide from them
By what process are nutrients and oxygen oxidized in your cells?
The process by which nutrients and oxygen are oxidized in cells is cellular respiration. It involves the oxidation of nutrients usually by oxygen.
What happens when oxygen and nutrients get to your cells?
your cells get ENERGY
what part of the blood cells carry food nutrients and oxygen to all cells?
The blood plasma contains the red blood cells which carries the food nutrients and oxygen to all the cells.
What carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells?
Blood
What aids circulation of oxygen and nutrients throughout a vertebrate?
Circulation of oxygen and nutrients is done by the circulatory system. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which absorbs oxygen and then distributes it to the body's cells. Nutrients travel in the plasma, the liquid medium that carries blood cells. The heart is what pumps blood so it moves through the body.
Is a vein a small blood vessel that delivers oxygen and other nutrients to cells?
No, a Capillary is a small blood vessel that delivers oxygen and other nutrients to cells.
Where do epidermal cells get their nutrients?
Epidermal cells receive nutrients and oxygen from the blood vessels in the dermis.
How does oxygen move?
Oxygen moves through your red blood cells.
What distributed by the blood to the body cells?
oxygen and nutrients.
What is transported to body cells by the blood?
Oxygen and nutrients.
Which body system supplies nutrients and oxygen to the cells?
answer
Materials that are carried to the cells of the body?
nutrients and oxygen
