Glucose enters the body as food and is digested and absorbed into the blood stream through the small intestines. The heart pumps the blood (which contains the oxygen and glucose) around the body. Toxic waste needs to be released from the body by passing through the circulatory system and excreted as carbon dioxide by exhaling. When the molecules enter the cells respiration occurs within the mitochondria allowing energy to be released aerobically. 3 of 4 Importance of Respiration Active Transport Muscle cell contraction Swimming of sperm cells Nerve impulse transmission Metabolic reactions Seperation of chromosomes in nuclear division 4 of 4
