What gas is taken up by cellular respiration?
Oxygen is taken in by cellular respiration.
What is one way that ATP is used in cells?
Glucose is taken up by mitochondria and used to make ATP
How does the glucose get to the body cells?
Glucose is absorbed through the small intestine into the capillaries. There are millions of villi (finger-like projections) that line the inside of the small intestine to increase its surface area for absorption. Villi have a very rich blood supply, so the glucose can be absorbed quickly and the blood is taken away quickly, maintaining a steep concentration gradient for more glucose, and other food, to be absorbed.
What is the gas that is taken from the air and converted to glucose in photosynthesis?
The gas that is taken from the air and converted to glucose in photosynthesis is carbon dioxide (CO2). Through the process of photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
In respiration where do the five classes of vertebrates get each reactant from and how do they absorb it into their lungs?
Glucose is taken from food.Oxygen is taken through air
Necessary if glucose is to be taken up by body cells?
insulin
How is glucose transported through the body?
Glucose is transported through the body in the bloodstream. It is absorbed into the bloodstream from the intestines after digestion and released by the liver. Glucose is then taken up by cells for energy or stored for later use.
How could glucose be removed from the bllod stream?
Glucose can be removed from the bloodstream by cells through the process of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down to produce energy. It can also be taken up by the liver and converted to glycogen for storage. Additionally, insulin helps facilitate the uptake of glucose by cells, lowering its concentration in the bloodstream.

What substance is used up during photosynthesis?
oxygen is used up in respiration.
How do your cells get raw materials that they need to respire?
Cells acquire raw materials such as glucose and oxygen through the bloodstream. Glucose is primarily obtained from the breakdown of carbohydrates in the diet, while oxygen is taken in through the lungs during respiration. These raw materials are then transported to the cells where they are used in the process of cellular respiration to produce energy.
An easy and understandable explanation for respiration?
Respiration is the process where cells in our body convert oxygen and glucose into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. Oxygen is taken in through breathing, and glucose is obtained from the food we eat. This process provides the energy needed for our cells to function and perform their tasks.
How does glucose get from the intestine to a calf muscle?
The glucose goes through the intesine wall, into the blood and is carried around until it reaches the calf muscle cells. Once there it will taken in the cells by carrier proteins which are embedded in the cell membrane (this is because it is not lipid soluable and can't not simply go through the cell membrane like water, oxgen, carbon dioxide etc). The glucose will then be used the mitondria in the cell.

What happens to glucose and amino acids when they are absorbed into the blood stream?
After the glucose is absorbed into the blood it is taken to the liver and is either stored or distributed to cells throughout the body for energy. To provide enough energy for the body the liver regulates blood glucose levels. Example: excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and is stored. Likewise, if blood sugar levels fall it is reconverted back to glucose. Not sure about amino acids :P
Where is glucose taken into cell?
through the plasma membrane
