Distilled water lacks electrolytes (salts) needed for proper blood chemistry. Without these electrolytes, the water can cause red blood cells to burst, leading to a release of potassium and a decrease in oxygen-carrying capacity. This can result in lower oxygen levels in the blood.

Which organ of the body diffuses oxygen into the bloodstream?

The lungs diffuse oxygen into the bloodstream. Oxygen from the air we breathe is absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the alveoli in the lungs, where it is then carried by red blood cells to be delivered to the body's tissues.


The goal of breathing is to delivers what?

When oxygen move from the lungs to the bloodstream is it by osmosis?

No, the movement of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream is not by osmosis. Instead, it occurs through a process called diffusion, where oxygen molecules move from an area of high concentration (in the lungs) to an area of lower concentration (in the bloodstream) to reach equilibrium.


What Organ Separates Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide?

I wouldn't exactly characterize it as separating carbon dioxide and oxygen, however, I think the answer you are looking for is the lungs which takes up oxygen into the bloodstream and expels carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream into the lungs so we can breathe it out again.


What is a gas that blocks oxygen from getting into your bloodstream?

Carbon monoxide is a gas that can block oxygen from getting into your bloodstream. When inhaled, it binds to hemoglobin in the red blood cells more readily than oxygen, reducing the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood.
