a) When you inhale, air goes through your nostrils and into you air ways all the way to your lungs.\nb) Inside your lungs are small alveoli that capture O2 molecules and trap them for your red cells to start working.\nc) Each red cell is like a carrier that excahnges O2 molecules for CO2 moluecules (those of used air on your bloodstream)\nd) Red cells go through your blood to every tiny place in your body giving oxygen where is needed and taking CO2 back to the lungs.  Your lungs get rid off those CO2 molecules when you exhale.\ne) You heart pumps blood in two directions:  It makes the blood with carbon dioxide (CO2) go to the lungs and the blood that is oxygen rich, go to all your body.  Your brain is the primary oxygen client in your body.

the molecules the cell incorporates must be chemically modified to obtain Energy from them. In the first place a reaction occurs in the cytoplasm and then (for those organisms that perform respiration) inside the mitochondria some other reactions occur. The last ones are called respiration.

You can have anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration. The ultimate result is ATP. Anaerobic is done without oxygen (fermentation) and aerobic is done with oxygen,\n\nit starts with glycolosis which takes place in the cytoplasm. Glucose is turned into two pyruvates through a 10 reaction process meditated my enzymes. you produce one ATP and one NADH\n\nthen the pyruvates go into Krebs Cycle or the TriCarboxylic Acid Cycle and goes into the mitochondria. The pyruvate must be converted to acetyl Coenzyme A. then the acetyl Co A enters Krebs and continuously generates Oxaloacetate among other enery-rich compounds such as ATP, NADH and FADH2 with CO2\n\nthen final process is in the electron transport chain which takes place in the inner membrane if the mitochondria. In this process lots of H+ is pumped out of the membrane, which means that H+ is accumalated outside the inner matrix. then the concentration gradient causes a sudden influx of H+ back into the inner membrane which creates "proton-motive force" which zaps ADP+Pi= ATP. \n\nthe end result is 38 ATP for regular cells or 36 ATP for muscles and brain cells.\n\nOXYGEN IS REQUIRED!!! \n\nhope that helps\n\n*oh and ATP is a form of energy for the cell...

Oxygen is made as a result of photosynthesis only.\n\nGlucose is also made as a result of photosynthesis.\n(Or due to the breakdown of fats, or complex sugars.)\n\nCarbon Dioxide is produced as a result of cellular respiration.\n\nThe source of energy released from glucose is the bond energy between the carbons in the molecule and the reductive properties of the electrons in the bond.\n\nCellular respiration occurs is parts.\n\nGlycolysis occurs in the cell cytoplasm (cytosol).  The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.\nThe electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation occurs at the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

Respiration is achieved through the mouth, nose, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm. Oxygen enters the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose. The oxygen then passes through the larynx (where speech sounds are produced) and the trachea which is a tube that enters the chest cavity. In the chest cavity, the trachea splits into two smaller tubes called the bronchi. Each bronchus then divides again forming the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes lead directly into the lungs where they divide into many smaller tubes which connect to tiny sacs called alveoli. The average adult's lungs contain about 600 million of these spongy, air-filled sacs that are surrounded by capillaries. The inhaled oxygen passes into the alveoli and then diffuses through the capillaries into the arterial blood. Meanwhile, the waste-rich blood from the veins releases its carbon dioxide into the alveoli. The carbon dioxide follows the same path out of the lungs when you exhale. \n\nThe diaphragm's job is to help pump the carbon dioxide out of the lungs and pull the oxygen into the lungs. The diaphragm is a sheet of muscles that lies across the bottom of the chest cavity. As the diaphragm contracts and relaxes, breathing takes place. When the diaphragm contracts, oxygen is pulled into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, carbon dioxide is pumped out of the lungs. \n\nThese links should help.

breathing is just lungs.  respiration has to do with the blood getting oxygen.\n\nand there are 2 types of respiration too.  one with chemistry.  not sure about that one.

Alveoli - Each bronchiole ends in a tiny air chamber that looks like a bunch of grapes.  Each chamber contains many cup-shaped cavities known as alveoli.  The walls of the alveoli, which are only about one cell thick, are the respiratory surface.  They are thin, moist, and are surrounded by several numbers of capillaries.  The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and air occurs through these walls.  The estimation is that lungs contain about 300 million alveoli. Their total surface area would be about 70 square meters.  That is 40 times the surface area of the skin.  \n\nFUNCTIONThe alveoli allow this gas exchange to occur. Each alveoli has a network of capillaries that carry oxygen-poor red blood cells. The capillaries bring the red blood cells very close to the air space in the alveoli. The air in the alveoli is oxygen rich. Oxygen moves from the alveolar space into the red blood cell by diffusion. This can happen very quickly because the surface are of the alveoli is large and the membranes separating the lungs from the red blood cells are very thin. The rate of oxygen diffusion is dependent on surface area, so gas exchange occurs more quickly with larger surface areas.

Respiration is a process involving inhalation and exhalation of airs.As for inhalation, the muscles that are involved in it is the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles.During inhalation, the contration of diaphragm (lowered to the abdominal) increased the lungs' volume so that the pressure inside the lungs are lower compared to the atmosphere pressure.As for external intercostal muscles, it help by elavating the ribs cage upward(superior) and forward(anterior).The movement that is made is know as Bucket Handle movement.\n\nAs for exhalation, the muscles that are involved in it is the abdominal muscles and the internal intercostal muscles.During exhalation process, the abdominal muscles contrated and pushed the diaphragm upward, squized the lungs(decreasing the lungs' volume).Decrease in volume caused the pressure inside the lungs are higher than the atmosphere pressure and then we exhaled the air out.As for internal intercostal muscles, it draged the ribs cage downward(interior) and backward or inward(posterior).\nThe two muscles involved in exhalation process only participated only if the process is active.Mostly, the exhalation is a passive movement of the ribs cage due to the elasticity of the lungs and the alveolies.\nIf the person exhaling with force,then the muscles will participate in.\n\nHope this helps ya.\n(^^o)/

how indepth do you want this?\n\nbasically caused by a pressure differential in your lungs (the diaphragm inflates the lungs)...the oxygen molecules are forced through alveoli (sacs) into the bloodstream because fo this pressure differential...at the same time...Carbon Dioxide flows in the opposite direction from the blood to teh lungs to be exhaled...the oxygen attaches itself to hemoglobin..which is found in the red blood cells...and is then transported throughout the body by the heart (arteries pump blood away from the heart to teh body..veins take the blood back)\n\nhope thats good enough lol

you are correct in what you have said.\nevery cycle of respiration starts with a molecule of glucose which after several steps converts into pyruvate.(2 molecules)\nif then ,O2 is present, krebs cycle will occur, otherwise, fermentation takes place. end product of fermentation is a molecule of CO2 and either ethanol(plants) or lactic acid(animals). krebs cycle produces energy molecules (NADH AND FADH2 + ATP) NADH and FADH2 undergo electron transport system to yield 11 molecules of each pyruvate. thus, a total of 24(22 +1+1) ATP's are formed in kreb's cycle.CO2 is also released.\n4NAD+ +FAD +2H2O +ADP +Pi +pyruvate = ATP +3CO2 +4NADH+FADH2+4H+  = 3CO2 +24 ATP (IN KREB'S CYCLE)\nat the end of whole process of respiration, however, 36 ATP's are gained net (including ATP gain in other processes as well)

Cell Respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved.

Oxygen breathed into the lungs diffuses into the alveoli, and then passes through into the  capillary walls. Here it turns into oxyhaemoglobin. Carbon dioxide is carried by blood into the alveoli and is breathed out of the lungs.\n\nGases diffuse along pressure gradients. In other words, gases spread from high concentration areas to low-concentration areas.\n\nThe blood in the capillaries arriving at the alveoli is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. Air in the alveoli is high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide. \n\nTherefore oxygen diffuses into the blood (attaching itself to the haemoglobin), and carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveoli, where it is breathed out.\n\nThe reverse process occurs at the capillaries that surround the muscle fibres
