Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The oxygen transported in blood circulation is primarily used for cellular respiration. This process involves the breakdown of glucose (food) in the presence of oxygen to produce energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water. Therefore, the main function of oxygen in the body is to facilitate the release of energy from food.
