How does the oxygen you inhale travel into your cells?

When you inhale, oxygen enters your lungs and diffuses into your bloodstream through tiny air sacs called alveoli. The oxygen is then carried by red blood cells in the blood vessels to different tissues and organs in your body. Once the oxygen reaches the cells, it is used in cellular respiration to produce energy.


When and why does your body use lactic acid fermination?

Your body uses lactic acid fermentation when oxygen levels are not adequate for proper cellular respiration. Our bodies need oxygen(aerobic) to continue exerting themselves, so when our muscles do not get enough oxygen from our breathing it resorts to fermentation, or the anaerobic (non oxygen using) pathway. This creates lactic acid in our muscles, which is the cause for cramps while being physically active. Hope this helps! :)


Why do people feel tired of they dont have enough oxygen?

The human metabolism runs on an oxidation process. Calories are in effect burned, to make chemically useful energy. All the chemical processes of the body are forced to slow down if there is not enough oxygen.


Why do runners have more mitochondria than non runners?

Runners have more mitochondria because consistent aerobic exercise, like running, signals the body to produce more mitochondria to meet the increased energy demands. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell as they are responsible for generating energy, and having more mitochondria allows runners to produce energy more efficiently during their runs.


What system is an extensive transport system through out the body?

An extensive transport system that runs through the body would be the circulatory system. It travels blood throughout the body and passes the oxygen that muscles need.

How does glucose help a person's body?

Glucose is your bodies' fuel. It is combined with oxygen inside your cells to produce energy, known as ATP, that runs all of the cycles that go on inside you, for example rebuilding damaged cells or making new ones.


Does excess heat burn fat?

No. The body's fat is a reserve of energy, and is only tapped into (used) when the body runs out of, and needs, calories from normal food digestion processes to produce energy. To lose fat, your body needs exercise.


What Happens When The body runs Out of Oxygen?

You die.

Where does your body get energy from when it runs out of carbohydrates?

When the body runs out of carbohydrates, it gets energy from stored fats through a process called ketosis.


Can oxygenators be used on commercial airlines?

There are already chemical generators which can produce oxygen which is used in planes. It can produce oxygen only for a short period of time.After that its power runs out.


How can your muscles produce enough energy to function properly?

Well, your body always has some kind of energy. If you eat, then it can use the food for energy for quite a while. If that runs out because you haven't eaten for a long time, then your body will start using fat for energy. If that runs out, then it will start using muscle (which is very bad, since your heart is a muscle). If you are very low on immediately available energy, your body will react by making you feel tired, so that it has time to convert more energy while your body sleeps.


When you run out of carbohydrate energy, where does your body get more energy from?

When your body runs out of carbohydrate energy, it gets more energy from breaking down stored fat or protein.


What does the body use for energy when you have no carb intake?

When there is no carbohydrate intake the body runs on fats

Is a stove chemical energy?

The stove itself is not but if it is a wood burning stove, when it is used, the conversion of wood into heat is the conversion of chemical into thermal energy
