What is the compound secreted into the bloodstream by one type of cell that acts to control the function of another type of cell?
A hormone.
Which type of engine carries its own supply of oxygen?
A rocket has it's own supply of oxygen.
Where in the cell do the reactions occur that require oxygen in order to obtain chemical energy from glucose?
They occur in the mitochondria, a type of organelle located in the cytoplasm.
What happens to oxygen when it goes through the lungs?
Essentially the air inhaled, which includes oxygen, passes through the various bronchi and briochioles until it reaches the aveoli. Here is where oxygen diffuses due to a concentration gradient. The oxygen must diffuse 5 layers before it enters a red blood cell. The red blood cell can now deliver it to tissues. At the same time, carbon dioxide diffuses through 5 layers to reach the aveolar space and can be exhaled the 5 layers are as follows: (1) type 1 aveolar cell, (2) basal lamina of type 1 aveolar cell, (3) basal lamina of endothelial cell, (4) endothelial cell, and (5) plasma membrane of the red blood cell. Oxygen diffuses from 1 to 5 and Carbon dioxide difuses from 5 to 1. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are essentially trading places. Note: basal lamina is connective tissue that a cell adheres to. Bronchi and bronchioles are the tubes which air flows. aveoli are small sacs of empty space, which is the site for gas exchange. drazx is the original author of this answer
