Molecular oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) easily cross cell membranes and therefore move by simple diffusion from high concentration to low concentration. Some nutrients also move this way, or have special transporters to allow them to move more easily into the cell. Other nutrients require energy to "pump" them into the cell, allowing cells to concentrate the nutrient.

What aids circulation of oxygen and nutrients throughout a vertebrate?

Circulation of oxygen and nutrients is done by the circulatory system. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which absorbs oxygen and then distributes it to the body's cells. Nutrients travel in the plasma, the liquid medium that carries blood cells. The heart is what pumps blood so it moves through the body.


Materials that are carried to the cells of the body?

Nutrients and oxygen are carried to the cells of the body by the bloodstream. Nutrients are mostly transported by the circulatory system after being absorbed from the digestive system, while oxygen is carried by red blood cells through the process of respiration.


Delivery of oxygen and nutrients?

Oxygen and nutrients are delivered to cells in the body through the circulatory system. Oxygen is carried by red blood cells in the blood, while nutrients are transported through the bloodstream to reach cells throughout the body. This delivery process is essential for cell function and overall health.

Where does cells get oxygen water and nutrients the need to function?

Cells get oxygen from the air we breathe, water from the fluids we drink, and nutrients from the food we eat. Oxygen is transported via the bloodstream to cells, while water and nutrients are absorbed through the digestive system and distributed to cells for energy production and other functions.


Body cells receive oxygen and nutrients from food delivered by?

Blood does. It carries oxygen from the lungs with which you breath fresh air in. Then blood goes to the heart and is sent to the whole body with oxygen! Oxygen support the cells', and the body's life!
