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.
Why is oxygen important for humans?
oxygen is important for all living creatures because it is important for our cells to survive. Cells within our body need oxygen in order for them to perform their function. If our body does not have enough oxygen, our cells will not be working properly. If total oxygen is removed, our cells will die and eventually so will the person.
Where do red blood cells get oxygen?
If by that you mean where they get their own oxygen, then from nowhere because red blood cells do not need oxygen, they perform all reactions anaerobically.If you mean where they get it to give off for the rest of your body, then its from the lungs.
What is the gas needed by the cells of the body?
For all animals: oxygen.
How does oxygen reach the body's cells?
Through the blood. Oxygen is drawn in by the lungs, binds to hemoglobin proteins within erythrocytes (aka red blood cells), and the erythrocytes are then pumped by the heart throughout the body, supplying all cells with oxygen.
Were do the red blood cells take your oxygen?
To all of the other cells of your body that need oxygen to live.
What is the air you breathe that all the body cells need?
oxygen
Breathing is necessary because?
The cells in your body need oxygen to live. The oxygen you breathe into your lungs gets put into your blood. Your heart then pumps the blood carrying the oxygen to all the cells in your body.

What is the main pourpose of your heart?
The pourpose of the heart is to pump blood throughout your body. Blood contains oxygen in it, and all the cells in your body need oxygen to live.
Why is it important for blood to reach all parts of the body?
Because all cells in the body need to receive oxygen and expell carbon dioxide.
What does oxygen do in your body apart from breathing?
Your cells need oxygen to turn food into energy, reproduce, and basically perform all of their tasks.
What are the two things that are supplied to the body's cells from the blood?
All cells need oxygen and nutrients to carry out their activities and that is what blood delivers.
Where do the red blood cells take the oxygen?
All over the body. Think your toes don't need air?
What are the basic need of all the cells in the body?
The basic needs of all cells in the body is to have food, oxygen, have their wastes taken away and have the body conditions not change to much, or else they would not be able to do their functions.
