Study Notes

Oxygen in the Air

  • 20% of the air is composed of oxygen
  • Oxygen is essential for cellular respiration to release energy

Cellular Respiration

  • Cells require oxygen to respire and produce energy
  • Energy is necessary for all bodily functions

Oxygen Uptake and Transport

  • Oxygen is absorbed into the blood in the lungs
  • Blood transports oxygen to cells throughout the body

Carbon Dioxide Removal

  • Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide gas
  • Carbon dioxide enters the blood and is transported to the lungs
  • Carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and exhaled out of the body through breathing
