The product of the reaction is water.
At the start of exercise, both respiratory rate and tidal volume increase. This is because the body needs to take in more oxygen to meet the increased demands of the muscles during physical activity. Increasing the respiratory rate and tidal volume helps to deliver more oxygen to the muscles and remove more carbon dioxide from the body.
They Meet
Transporting oxygen in red blood cells is advantageous for larger animals because red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen molecules, allowing for efficient oxygen transport throughout the body. Hemoglobin enables larger animals to meet their higher oxygen demands by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, which is essential for sustaining their greater energy needs and larger size.
Oxygen debt is a side-effect of anaerobic respiration caused by a build up of lactic acid that needs to be broken down. This is because in anaerobic respiration short amounts of energy are made without oxygen used (only glucose) and this oxygen needs to be repaid.
Since fermentation doesn't require oxygen, it is able to meet its requirements if glucose molecules are present.
When oxygen and glucose meet in a body cell, a process called cellular respiration occurs. This process produces ATP (energy) for the cell through a series of biochemical reactions, with oxygen serving as the final electron acceptor to generate energy. Waste products like carbon dioxide and water are also produced during this process.
When oxygen and starch meet in the presence of enzymes, such as in the process of cellular respiration in living organisms, the oxygen molecules are used to break down the starch molecules into simpler compounds to release energy. This process is essential for the production of ATP, the cell's main energy currency.

Glucose is a source of energy for the body, essential for cellular processes like respiration and powering metabolic reactions. Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration, where glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP. Together, glucose and oxygen help meet the energy demands of animals and humans for survival and maintaining bodily functions.
Both oxygen and nitrogen meet this description.
Neurons and red blood cells rely exclusively on glucose to meet their energy needs, as they lack the cellular machinery to utilize other energy sources effectively. Glucose is essential for providing the necessary energy for their functions, including brain activity for neurons and oxygen transport for red blood cells.
When the body requires more oxygen and glucose, such as during physical exertion, the cardiovascular and respiratory systems respond by increasing heart rate and breathing rate. This enhances blood flow to muscles and improves oxygen delivery while also facilitating the transport of glucose from the bloodstream to cells. Additionally, hormonal responses, such as the release of adrenaline, further accelerate metabolism, enabling the body to meet its energy demands more efficiently.
At higher altitudes, there is less oxygen in the air because the air pressure decreases with elevation. This results in fewer oxygen molecules per unit volume of air. As a result, it becomes harder for humans to breathe in enough oxygen to meet their body's needs at higher altitudes.
Breathing heavily can be a result of the body trying to quickly take in more oxygen to meet the increased demand during exercise or physical activity. This is not necessarily an indication of oxygen debt, which refers to the body's inability to supply enough oxygen to meet the demands of exercise.
They do meet and form a column
Nothing "happens". They meet, and the rays continue merrily along their ways, never to meet again!
