Oxygen enters the body by being absorbed into the blood (specifically, it is absorbed by red blood cells which contain an oxygen-carrying compound known as hemoglobin) when air is inhaled into the lungs, which have a highly porous, spongy structure which facilitates the exposure of blood to the air.
It is the haemoglobin in the cells which allow them to carry oxygen and its also the reason they are red as haemoglobin is red.
When oxygen enters the bloodstream through the lungs it generally binds to red blood cells (more specifically the hemoglobin within red blood cells), which are carried along within the plasma. While some unbound oxygen may become diffused inside the plasma itself it is not the primary or intended mean of oxygen transport throughout the body. In short, plasma doesn't carry oxygen, but instead carries the cells that carry oxygen.
Iron in the hemoglobin molecule binds to oxygen and carbon dioxide, allowing the hemoglobin to transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells and carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs so it can be exhaled.
Active Transport is carried out in our body cells. Active Transport uses energy to transport materials.
red blood cells transport oxygen :)
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin and transport oxygen
Red blood cells absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide at lungs which was absorbed from other cells in the body during blood circulation, then it releases oxygen to those body cells in order to respire and release energy .
No. Red blood cells do. Red blood cells transport oxygen form the lungs to tissues.
In lungs where carbon dioxide is released and oxygen absorbed and in cells where oxygen is given to cells and carbon dioxide is absorbed by blood.
Here the main function is of lungs and blood vessels.When we breathe oxygen from atmosphere get into our lungs and is absorbed into blood vessels in our lungs and these blood vessels transport oxygen to our toes from where carbon dioxide is absorbed into blood vessels and oxygen is provided to the tissues and this process goes on.
Cells that do not get oxygen will die.
They transport oxygen to cells.
well oxygen isn't a transport system it is something that can be diffused across the membranes of cells.
Oxygen is in the air, and when you breathe in the oxygen gets into your lungs and is absorbed into the red blood cells.
Oxygen [O2].
