Your body cells use oxygen you breath to get energy from the foods you eat. The process is called "Cellular Respiration." This process or function consists of the cell using oxygen to break down sugars in the body. When the cell uses the oxygen to break down sugars, carbon-dioxide is produced and energy is released, thus producing the energy your body needs.


"Hemoglobin" is a protein with Red Blood cells (also referred to as RBC's) that are responsible for the transport of oxygen. The Cardiovascular System consists of the heart and vessels and may also be referred to as the vascular system or the circulatory system. The heart functions as a muscular pump that pushes blood through the vessels to all areas of the body and the vessels function to carry it back to the heart as well. Hence the name "circulatory."

Explain why vestigial organs are not “left-overs” of evolution (3 points)
nasty-shy [4]

<u>Answer</u>:

Vestigial organs are those organs that were present in the past ancestors but absent in their present generations. Vestigial organs are not leftover of evolution because they are evolved to perform a different function.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For example, an appendix is considered as a vestigial organ but it helps in storing good bacteria and plays a vital role in the immune system. These vestigial organs are the product of changing the environment and adaptation to the changing environment. Due to natural selection some specific traits have been passed down to generations which helped the animals to survive in those conditions. The other examples of vestigial organs are wisdom teeth coccyx, tonsils, several genes in the chromosomes and our hair.
