Yes, oxygen picked up in the lungs by the red blood cells is delivered to the individual cells of the body, where it is absorbed into the cytoplasm and taken to the mitochondria to be used in aerobic cellular respiration reactions.

Does animal cells have metabolism with or without oxygen?

Animal cells can perform metabolism with or without oxygen. In the presence of oxygen, animal cells undergo aerobic metabolism to produce energy. In the absence of oxygen, they can switch to anaerobic metabolism, which is less efficient but still allows for energy production.

Through what process are oxygen atoms made available to the animal cells?

Oxygen atoms become available to animal cells primarily through the process of respiration. During inhalation, oxygen from the air enters the lungs and diffuses into the bloodstream through the alveoli. Hemoglobin in red blood cells binds to the oxygen, transporting it to tissues throughout the body. Once at the cells, oxygen is utilized in cellular respiration to produce energy.


Do cells use carbon dioxide?

No. Animal cells use Oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as a waste product. Plant cells use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.

What will happen if the blood cell is removed from animal body?

First the animal would go into shock, oxygen transport would stop and the animal would die...assuming the question refers to all the red blood cells being removed.
