Why does the brain need so much oxygen?
Your cells need the oxygen to function. That's why it's called "cellular respiration."and you blood needs to be oxygenated so it can carry the O2 (oxygen) to other parts of the body.
How does oxygen and food get to the cells in your body?
Human cells obtain the much-needed food and oxygen via the bloodstream.
Why do you breathe slower when you are at rest or sleep?
Because you don't need to get as much oxygen to your blood for respiriation as you do not need more energy. When you are exercising you breathe faster to get that extra oxygen.
How is a red blood cell specialized?
Firstly they contain lots of heamoglobin to carry as much oxygen as possible. Secondly they do not respire Aerobically as this would use up the oxygen they carry.
With out oxygen there is only aerobic respiration?
No. Aerobic respiration is WITH oxygen. ANaerobic is without. Generally anaerobic process is fermentation, but that doesn't produce nearly as much ATP, and is therefore unfavorable for anything big, like people or animals.
Why is blood so important why will people die if they lose too much blood?
blood carries a lot of things within your body. Importantly, oxygen. All of your cells need oxygen and cannot live without it. Without blood, they cannot get oxygen.
Why cant you run for as long if you have less oxygen in your blood?
because your blood carries oxygen to you muscles. without much oxygen blood won't be able to take lots to your muscles, and with little oxygen your muscles won't work as well and therefore you won't run as quickly :)
The process where energy is released from glucose without using oxygen is called what?
Without using oxygen the process is called an anaerobic process. The amount of energy is much less (2ATP) compared to aerobic (36 ATP).
How much oxygen goes into the blood?
98% of the oxygen inhaled enters the blood. However, I do not know where the other 2% goes.

Why is hemoglobin present in red blood cells?
It makes the red blood cell much better at carrying oxygen!! It can absob oxygen easily and doesn't "leak" oxygen as the blood travels to the body tissues where the oxygen is needed!
What part of the heart carries oxygen without much oxygen?
viens...
How much oxygen is carried in the blood?
1000000000000000 grams
Does deoxygenated blood mean no oxygen blood?
Taken literally, deoxygenated means "without oxygen," but physiologically it means blood that has dropped its oxygen load to the tissues. There is still oxygen bound to hemoglobin in deoxygenated blood, just not as much as oxygenated blood.
Does a person who is smoking carry as much oxygen in their blood as a non smoker?
no, the red blood cells carry less oxygen when the person smokes
What organ carries blood that doesn't have that much oxygen in it?
Veins
What if you had too much oxygen?
hyperventilation and your blood becomes to alkaline.
