Solution
(i) The Function of Oxygen in the Body
Cellular respiration is the term used to describe the phase of the digestive process when food breaks down to supply cells with energy.
During cellular respiration, cells use oxygen to break down sugar to produce ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. ATP is a molecule that supplies cells with energy.
The byproducts of the process are CO2 and water.
The Benefits of Oxygen
Health status, activity level, and hydration are factors that affect how much oxygen a person needs.
Without adequate oxygen, health problems are guaranteed.
Some people have to use extraordinary measures to get their oxygen levels up. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, for example, is one way to increase oxygen levels and may even address a variety of health concerns. There are a lot of reasons why more oxygen is better. In one study, laboratory mice that received supplemental oxygen had better T-cell counts, immune function, and lived about twice as long as mice with normal oxygen levels.
(ii)The different organs of the respiratory system such as nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi, etc. carry out the process of respiration/breathing. All these organs play an important role in supplying oxygen to the body and allowing its smooth functioning.
