Carries blood away from the heart to the body’s organs. (Usually red in diagrams, Oxygenated)

Question 16

Capillaries

Answer 16

Connect arteries and veins. Blood to cells. Exchange between blood and cells in other tissues.

Question 17

Veins

Question 41

What is cellular Respiration (What is breathing and why we need to breathe)

Answer 41

You breathe in Oxygen. Oxygen is used by the cells to release energy stored in glucose. Oxygen diffuses into red blood cells and those blood cells are carried to tissue. The cells use oxygen to release ATP. Then, carbon dioxide and water are produced and exhaled. We need to breathe to power mitochondria with oxygen to make glucose and ATP.
