How do molecules from food and molecules of oxygen that enter the body through the mouth and the nose move to cells of the body?

  1. Molecules from food and molecules of oxygen move from the mouth and the nose to cells of the body through a series of blood vessels, including veins, arteries, and microscopically small blood vessels (capillaries), that extend throughout the body.
  2. Molecules from food and molecules of oxygen move from the nose and the mouth to cells of the body through special respiratory and digestive tubes that directly connect the lungs and stomach to the rest of the body.
  3. Molecules from food and molecules of oxygen move from the mouth and the nose to cells of the body through special respiratory and digestive tubes that directly connect the mouth and nose to the rest of the body.
  4. Molecules from food and molecules of oxygen do not move from the mouth and the nose to cells of the body. Oxygen is breathed in and out of the lungs without entering the cells of the body, and molecules from food enter the digestive tract and pass through the body without entering cells of the body.

Correct Answer
A
Misconceptions
Answer Choices: B, C
BFM031: Molecules from food are distributed by way of special tubes, not by way of the circulatory system, to the rest of the body (Catherall, 1982).
BFM040: Air is distributed through the body in air tubes (Arnaudin & Mintzes, 1985; Catherall, 1982).
Answer Choice: D
BFM039: After entering the body, air is not distributed throughout the body (Arnaudin & Mintzes, 1985). Air goes to the lungs, or the lungs and the heart, and is then exhaled (Catherall, 1982).
BFM043: Air is breathed in and out of the body without being absorbed or used in any way (Minstrell, 2005).
BFM079: Molecules from food enter the digestive tract and pass through the body without entering cells of the body.
