It basically is used to burn fuel to power the body, more or less just like a campfire uses the air to burn. When the blood goes to the lungs, oxygen is absorbed in and as it leaves the lungs to go to the different parts of the body, it provides the energy. Therefore, the lesser the amount of oxygen in the blood, the weaker we become and body organs will die ultimately.

How much oxygen percentage in inhaled air by human?

The percentage of oxygen in inhaled air by humans is approximately 21%. This oxygen is then absorbed by the lungs and transported by the blood to the cells where it is used for energy production in the body.


Which contains more oxygen inhaled air or exhaled air?

Inhaled air contains more oxygen than exhaled air. When you breathe in, oxygen is taken into your lungs and absorbed into your bloodstream. When you breathe out, you release carbon dioxide produced by your body and some of the oxygen has been used up.


Which organ is responsible for taking oxygen into the body?

The lungs are responsible for taking in oxygen into the body. Through the process of breathing, oxygen is inhaled into the lungs where it is then transferred into the bloodstream to be carried throughout the body.


Which sequence shows the transfer of oxygen for the use of the body?

Air, lungs, blood, cells, and cellular respirationair, lungs, bloods, cells, cellular respiration


Do you exhale to remove excess oxygen from the lungs?

No- exhaling removes carbon dioxide from your lungs- along with nitrogen that you had inhaled, and any oxygen that was not transferred to red blood cells.


How does oxygen from the air get into the blood?

oxygen that is inhaled into the lungs is diffused through the small air sacs, called alveoli, into the bloodstream.


The area in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged is the?

alveoli. These are tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen from inhaled air enters the bloodstream and carbon dioxide from the blood is expelled into the lungs to be exhaled.


Where do lungs get oxygen?

Lungs get oxygen from the air that is inhaled through the respiratory system. Oxygen molecules in the air are transferred from the alveoli in the lungs into the bloodstream, where they are carried to cells throughout the body.


Inhaled oxygen diffuses through the walls of what?

Inhaled oxygen will diffuse through the walls of the lungs. It will also diffuse through the walls of red blood cells so it can be carried all over the body.


What supplies the blood with oxygen?

The lungs supply blood with oxygen through a process called gas exchange. Oxygen is inhaled into the lungs through respiration and diffuses into the bloodstream from the air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli.


What does inhaled oxygen diffuse through through?

Inhaled oxygen diffuses through the walls of the alveoli in the lungs, then into the bloodstream where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for transportation to tissues and cells in the body.


Which sequence correctly shows oxygen movement during respiration?

Oxygen is inhaled into the lungs Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the bloodstream Oxygen is carried by red blood cells to body tissues Oxygen is used in the mitochondria for cellular respiration to produce energy
