Your body cells use oxygen you breath to get energy from the foods you eat. The process is called "Cellular Respiration." This process or function consists of the cell using oxygen to break down sugars in the body. When the cell uses the oxygen to break down sugars, carbon-dioxide is produced and energy is released, thus producing the energy your body needs.


"Hemoglobin" is a protein with Red Blood cells (also referred to as RBC's) that are responsible for the transport of oxygen. The Cardiovascular System consists of the heart and vessels and may also be referred to as the vascular system or the circulatory system. The heart functions as a muscular pump that pushes blood through the vessels to all areas of the body and the vessels function to carry it back to the heart as well. Hence the name "circulatory."

The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are
labwork [276]

Answer:

The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are more organized and condensed.

Explanation:

Chromatin is genetic material packaged into a complex by special proteins (histones). That complex is in the form of uncoiled structures, so chromatin fibers are long and thin. Chromatin structure is permissive to DNA replication, transcription and recombination events.

On the other hand, chromosomes are highly condensed structures of genetic material that are formed just before the cell division.

Compared to insulators, metals are better conductors of electricity because metals contain more free
podryga [215]

Metal contain free electrons which makes it easier to transfer energy through the solid (conduction). Non-metals are poor conductors (insulators) because they do not contain free electrons.

Hope this helps!
