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
Understand the importance of oxygen in the air, its role in cellular respiration, and how it's transported and utilized in the body. Learn about the process of oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide removal.
