living beings cannot function. Which means living beings will not have enzymes‚ hormones‚ tissue‚ or hemoglobin. Living beings need hormones to carry out chemical reactions. They also need hormones so that they carry out messages between cells. Proteins also help make up tissue in the body‚ and without it living beings will become weaker structurally. Proteins are also needed to create hemoglobin‚ which helps carry oxygen in blood cells. If proteins are not made to carry out any of these functions

The Respiratory System is crucial to every human being. Without it‚ we would cease to live outside of the womb. Let us begin by taking a look at the structure of the respiratory system and how vital it is to life. During inhalation or exhalation air is pulled towards or away from the lungs‚ by several cavities‚ tubes‚ and openings. The organs of the respiratory system make sure that oxygen enters our bodies and carbon dioxide leaves our bodies. The respiratory tract is the path of air from the
