Q

State how respiration occurs

A

For example, the finger.
Glucose is founded in the blood
The red blood cells retrieve oxygen from the lungs
Once that blood is oxygenated than it flows to parts of the body
That blood cell moves to the finger and when it reaches that spot the chemical reaction of respiration is taken place
Waste products attach onto the red blood cell to be released through exhalation
