Oxygen is diffused into the cells when the cells need oxygen to carry out their functions.

Oxygen is carried inside a red blood cell where the oxygen is bound to the hemoglobin. Red blood cells travel in the blood as part of the circulatory system and diffuse or give oxygen to the cells which need them.

Oxygen is important for many cellular functions.

Does glucose enter cells through cell membrane or mitochondria?

Glucose is diffused through facilitated diffusion in the cell membrane. It is oxidised by glycolysis in the cytoplasm and then the products either go through the mitochondria if oxygen is present or goes through fermentation in the cytosoplasm if no oxygen.


Where is the mitochondria in a animal cell?

Diffused everywhere throughout the cytosol.


What substance can be easily diffused through the membrane around an egg?

Oxygen.


What is exchange of gas?

This is when the red blood cells , sent from the heart, pass through the alveoli and the breathed in oxygen is diffused into the cell and carbon dioxide is diffused out. The cells then travel around the body in the blood vessels where the oxygen is needed, before returning to the heart in the veins. The red blood cells have a substance in them called haemoglobin . When the red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs, it becomes oxhaemoglobin


How can you prove the presence of diffused air in fresh water?

One way to prove the presence of diffused air in fresh water is by observing small air bubbles rising to the surface of the water. Additionally, you can conduct a dissolved oxygen test using a water testing kit to measure the concentration of oxygen in the water, which indicates the presence of diffused air. Another method is to measure the water's oxygen saturation level, with higher levels indicating the presence of diffused air.


Is oxygen passive transport?

well oxygen isn't a transport system it is something that can be diffused across the membranes of cells.


Where did oxygen come from in the ocean?

It is diffused from the air, in the atmosphere, and from plant life in the ocean.


How does oxygen from the air get into the blood?

oxygen that is inhaled into the lungs is diffused through the small air sacs, called alveoli, into the bloodstream.


How will you prove the presence of diffused air in water?

One way to prove the presence of diffused air in water is by observing the formation of bubbles when the water is agitated or heated. Another method is to measure the dissolved oxygen levels in the water using a dissolved oxygen meter, as air typically contains oxygen gas.
