what specific cellular processes uses oxygen, when oxygen is inhaled ?

Cellular respiration is the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes. Oxidation of organic material—in a bonfire, for example—is an exothermic reaction that releases a large amount of energy rather quickly. The equation for the oxidation of glucose is:\n\nC6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy released (2830 kJ mol−1) \nIn a fire there is a massive uncontrolled release of energy as light and heat. Cellular respiration is the same process but it occurs in gradual steps that result in the conversion of the energy stored in glucose to usable chemical energy in the form of ATP. ATP is known as the universal currency because when the phosphoanhydride bonds in ATP are hydrolyzed in an exergonic reaction, the energy yield is 30kJ per mole under standard conditions. Waste products (CO2 + H2O) are released through exhaled air, sweat and urine.

Breathing- intake of O2 and exhaling CO\nEating- converting foods to sugars to energy

Oh Biology, how do I miss thee!!!!!  Ah that was some good times.  Cytochrome c oxidase is part of the respiration cycle and it accepts electrons.  That about all I can remember but thanks for the points and a trip down memory lane.

air is moved into the lungs

The respiratory system and the cardiovascular system\n\nto put oxygen in the blood and take C02 out, to pump the blood respectively

Well, oxygen is used for respiration, and carbon dioxide is only used for photosynthesis. Respiration should occur throughout the day for survival (duh), and photosynthesis can only occur when sunlight is present. So, the ans should be (c)

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.\nThe process occurs in two phases:glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid; the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water.\n\nIn eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol. The remaining processes take place in mitochondria. \n\nsee link.

haha the answer above me is funny...what what exactly do you want to know about it? theres a lot to do with respiration...theres inspiration where the air is taken in..this is caused by a contraction of the diaphragm..thens there structures like the epiglotis, trachea, pharynx...then the oxygen goes to your lungs..where gas exchange occurs in the alveoli's...this is done by some complicated process that i dont understand really..i didnt really pay attention during this part of physiology/biology class. haha. anyway, the oxygen is picked up by the pulmonary artery and goes to the rest of the body through the aorta...uhh, i can think of anything else..hope this helps!

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.

Oxygen bind to hemoglobin which is part of the red blood cells.  It is picked up in the lungs where there are little sacs that have a very thin lining of cells.  Therefore the air you breathe in will be able to reach the blood.  Then the hemoglobin will carry blood to the parts of the body.

The oxygen is collected by the red cells in the alveolis (in the lungs), they travel all the way trough your body providing oxigenation to all the extremities. When the blood contains oxygen its colour turns pure red but when it caries Carbon Dioxide it turns darker.

Respiration is performed using tracheae, air-filled tubes which open at the surfaces of the thorax and abdomen through pairs of spiracles. The spiracle valves only open to allow oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. The tracheoles, found at the end of the tracheal tubes, are insinuated between cells and carry oxygen throughout the body. \n\nI hope this helps.

they transfer oxygen into the blood stream and co2 out\n\nmore here:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lungs

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.

oxidation, i think.\n\nin this case, simple sugar reacting with oxygen in the air.\n\nIt's been a long time since my Chemistry 101 days.  Hope I got it right.

aerobic rxns use oxygen...anaerobic is w/o oxygen.

Air molecule???\nThe air we breath, Oxygen Nitrogen (not nitrate, just oxygen and nitrogen), goes in through your nose down to your lungs. Your red blood cells have tiny holes on them, and they "collect' the oxygen from your lungs, back to the heart, and gets pumped everywhere through your body. Your body takes the oxygen, have a bunch of reactions with them, and sends out the "waste" (carbon dioxide, etc), which goes back to your ticker, pumps it up to your lungs, and is breathed out. \n\nPlease, don't just use that as your research paper. It is much more detailed. :P
