Oxygen diffuses by from the alveoli into the blood.

The answer should be C, It diffuses from the alveoli into the blood.


Alveoli, also called the air sac, is the place where the oxygen we breathed in is exchanged with carbon dioxide that our body produces. Oxygen is passed into the blood in the capillaries through the process of diffusion, while carbon dioxide is diffused from the blood back to the alveoli, so that we can exhale the carbon dioxide after that.


Both a and b are not right because when we breathe in, the oxygen travels from the trachea to the bronchi, to the bronchiole, and to the alveoli, instead of directly into blood vessels like arteries, capillaries, or veins. d is also not right because the direction is wrong.


Therefore, your answer should be C.

Which processes require oxygen? Check all that apply.
zysi [14]

This is a cellular respiration question, related to biology.

Some processes in our bodies require the use oxygen, others do not.

In this case, the conversion of pyruvic acid to acetyl co-enzyme A and the production of water in the electron transport chain do require oxygen.

If oxygen was not present for pyruvate, it would turn into lactic acid via fermentation. Water in the ETC is formed in the process when NADH and FADH2 are converted to molecular oxygen due to the electron transporters. The protons are then pumped and oxygen is reduced to form H2O.

Glucose is a large molecule that cannot penetrate the phospholipid bilayer of cells. Instead, glucose enters most cells through
bagirrra123 [75]


The term is Facilitated diffusion.

Facilitated diffusion is a transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell's energy, and because it does not use the cell's energy, it is a passive transport.

The energy is provided by the concentration gradient, which means that molecules are transported from higher  to lower concentrations, into or out of the cell.

The carrier proteins of the GLUT family are responsible for transporting glucose. They bind to glucose , which causes them to change shape to fit in the membrane passage then they translocate the glucose molecule from one side of the membrane to the other.

Red blood cells use facilitated diffusion to absorb glucose.
