Cells need oxygen to do a process called respiration.diffusion,and osmosis.
The carbohydrates we eat turn into sugar. Your body stores this sugar in your liver until your body is ready to use it. Your pancreas releases insulin to tell your liver, "Release sugar." Then the sugar is carried to a cell. The cell places it in some mitochondria. It gets Oxygen from a red corpuscle. It takes the oxygen to the mitochondria. There it combines the Oxygen and the sugar and materials from the cell to create ATP or Adenosine triphosphate. ATP provides the power to run the cell. It acts like the gasoline in your car. Without gas your car won't go. If your body stops producing ATP, your cells don't go. You can use up all the carbohydrate stored in your liver and most of the fat stored in your body making ATP. Nothing can substitute for Oxygen.

∙ 8y agoOxygen is necessary, among other things, for the electron transport chain that is part of the respiratory cycle of the cell. Cells need oxygen to produce the energy necessary for life.
cells need oxygen to produce life
For keeping us alive because body cells need it. Or oxygen is necessary for cell growth and energy.

∙ 12y agoBecause if there is no oxygen in your body (apart from the fact that you would be dead) your cells cannot resperate and so you will die, the cells can resperate without oxygen for a limited amount of time, but this is very short, respiration is where the cells take oxygen and make it into carbon dioxide before sending it back trough the lungs, respiration happens automatically without us making it, like breathing.
hope this answers your question (I was bored cos I'm supposed 2 b doin ma homework)

Why is blood very important?
Blood is important because it keeps your body warm in the winter, and it makes capulets so you won't die of blood loss. White blood cells defend your body from disease. Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body. As a conclusion I will say, "BLOOD IS ALL IN ALL IMPORTANT!"
What type of blood cell contains which carries oxygen to all the cells in your body?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all the blood cells of the body with the help of a red pigment which is present in R.B.C (red blood cells) called haemoglobin.Oxygen sticks to the pigment and thus is carried to the cells.
What is the purpose of a red blood cell?
A major function of the red blood cells is to carry oxygen to all the tissues from the lungs_______________________________________________________________________A red blood cell transports oxygen for respirationRed corpuscles carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Which cells in your body need oxygen?
Red blood cells perform the most important blood duty. A single drop of blood contains millions of red blood cells which are constantly traveling through your body delivering oxygen and removing waste. If they weren't, your body would slowly die.
How does oxygen get to all of the body cells?
Each haemoglobin molecule in the blood takes on 4 oxygen molecules in the lungs; that freshly-oxygenated blood returns to the heart for distribution around the body so the oxygen can be transferred to tissue cells needing it.
Why is oxygen important for humans?
oxygen is important for all living creatures because it is important for our cells to survive. Cells within our body need oxygen in order for them to perform their function. If our body does not have enough oxygen, our cells will not be working properly. If total oxygen is removed, our cells will die and eventually so will the person.
Why are cells important in your body?
The white blood cells destroy diseases while the red blood cells carry oxygen through out the body. So all in all the white cells are for you to not get sick often and the red blood cells to get oxygen to your whole body. Thanks!
Why is oxygen important to blood and other cells?
Oxygen is needed for respiration. This is how all our cells release energy. All the body cells and white blood cells therefore need oxygen. Red blood cells don't use oxygen, they undergo anaerobic respiration, but they transport the oxygen needed by other cells.
Why is it important for blood to reach all parts of the body?
Because all cells in the body need to receive oxygen and expell carbon dioxide.
The most important gas distributed to all cells of the body by blood is?
Oxygen! Remember it isn't the only gas. CO2 is also removed from cells in the body.
Why are red blood cells important to the circulatory system?
Provide oxygen to the entire body, from the brain to the pinky toe. Blood is circulated via the Pulmonary Artery from the heart to the lungs, and from the lungs (where oxygen is absorbed by the red blood cells) to the rest of the body. After the oxygen has been dispersed, the blood cells begin the cycle anew.
What gas is carried to the cells of your body?
The blood carries oxygen to all the cells of the body.
What is a gas that is necessary for breathing?
hi me know the anser but I is not telling u!!
Were do the red blood cells take your oxygen?
To all of the other cells of your body that need oxygen to live.
What does hemoglobin do in your body?
Hemoglobin is part of your red blood cells. It is a protein that carries oxygen throughout the body.
Where does the red blood cell carry the oxygen to?
Red blood cells carry oxygen to all the cells of the body.
