    During respiration how does your body use up the oxygen??
  • Jyoti Pakianathan
     
    Why does your body need oxygen? What happens when the oxygen supply is limited in the body?

    Oxygen plays a vital role in the breathing processes and in the metabolism of the living organisms.

    Aerobic Respiration equation:
    glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy)
    C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ energy)

    C6H12O6 + 6O2 -------------------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ~38 ATP

    where is the glucose coming from? What is the glucose?
  • Claudia Choi
     
    glucose is a sugar that is in the blood streams
  • Claudia Choi
     
    from sugary foods
  • Euna Chang
     
    Glucose is a type of sugar the body uses for energy. It comes from food you eat
  • Heeyoon Kim
     
    Glucose is a simple sugar that provides the body with its primary source of energy.

    2/3 of human body is made out of oxygen. The oxygen is absorbed by the blood streams and transported to cells. Metabolism of organisms. If there is limited air, tissues, organs will suffocate and you will feel dizzy. Your body will not be able to probably function.

    Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ Energy)
    C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ Energy)

    glucose → lactic acid (+ energy)

    Much less energy is released by anaerobic respiration (bottom) than by aerobic respiration (top).
    The oxygen is absorbed by the arteries and transported to cells. Metabolism of organisms. With limited air, tissues, organs will suffocate with a feeling of dizziness. Your body will not be able to probably function properly.
