Question

How does oxygen get into the cell in order for cellular respiration to occur?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Diffusion

Explanation:

A.Diffusion  - this is correct. Diffusion is the process where small molecules enter the cell by moving from a high concentration to a low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

B.Exocytosis  - this is incorrect. Exocytosis is a cell transport mechanism where the cell uses a system of vesicles to transport cargo outside of the cell. The vesicles fuse to the cell membrane and deliver the cargo outside.

C.Osmosis  - this is incorrect, osmosis is a type of diffusion specific to water molecules

D.Endocytosis - this is incorrect. Endoocytosis is a cell transport mechanism where the cell uses a system of vesicles to transport cargo into the cell. The cell membrane engulfs the molecules and brings them into the cell via the vesicle
