Oxygen, inhaled through the lungs for most animals, puts oxygen into blood as it passes by small parts of the lungs call alveoli. This oxygenated blood flows all over the body, eventually bringing oxygen and other molecules to the cells via capillaries, the smallest of the chambers that carry blood. Once inside the cell, oxygen is used in a process called cell respiration, which creates ATP (the main source of energy for cell processes)

Lung and gills help animals take in?

Lung and gills help animals take in oxygen from their environment. Lungs are found in terrestrial animals and allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during respiration, while gills are found in aquatic animals and perform a similar function by extracting oxygen from water.


What is the importance of diffusion in animals?

yes, because in animals diffusion helps the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide from the air, lungs, blood, also when food has been broken down in the gut. plant relay on diffusion to allow carbon dioxide to move in quickly and easily and to allow oxygen to move out quickly.


How does oxygen use by animals?

Animals breathe in oxygen in the air.


Can you list examples of animals which have gills?

Some examples of animals with gills are fish, tadpoles, and marine invertebrates like clams and jellyfish. Gills are respiratory organs that allow these animals to extract oxygen from water.


How do animals without blood get oxygen or food?

Animals without blood, such as sea sponges, obtain oxygen and nutrients through diffusion. They rely on their porous body structures to allow oxygen and food particles to diffuse in and waste products to diffuse out. This process occurs through direct contact with their environment.


What is the function of the ctenidia?

The ctenidia, also known as gills, are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in aquatic animals like mollusks. They play a crucial role in respiration by facilitating the uptake of oxygen from the water and the release of carbon dioxide.


How do animals adapt in the epipelagic zone?

The epipelagic zone is uppermost part of the oceanic zone to allow for photosynthesis. Animals and life in this region must adapt to lower levels of sunlight and reduced oxygen use.


Do animals use respiration to perform the functions that allow them to grow?

Animals use Respiration to take in oxygen and release unwanted substances such as Carbon Dioxide. I doesn't really carry out functions that help it grow.


Why are there no animals in outerspace?

There is no oxygen. Animals need oxygen to breathe. Plus, no food or water.


What happens to oxygen after it is used by animals?

oxygen


When animals releases oxygen what kind o sedimentary rock dissolves?

Animals don't release oxygen; we use oxygen. Plants release oxygen.


Why dont animals use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere?

Animals do not use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere because plants produce oxygen. When they breathe, plants inhale carbon dioxide (which is what animals breathe out) and exhale oxygen (which is what animals breathe in).
