Breathing functions to
- deliver oxygen to cells, where it takes part in the reactions of cellular respiration
that liberate energy from waste molecules.
- inflate the lungs, which forces oxygen molecules into the bloodstream.
- deliver carbon dioxide to cells, where it takes part in the reactions of cellular
respiration that liberate energy from nutrient molecules and get rid of oxygen,
which maintains the pH of the internal environment.

In bronchopulmonary dysplasia, the lungs of newborns become inflamed and
scarred. Most infants recover, but some die. An experimental treatment cultures
stem cells from a newborn's umbilical cord. The stem cells, in a lab dish, give rise
to type II cells, which in turn give rise to more type I cells. In this treatment
- the type II cells secrete surfactant and the type I cells form the respiratory
membrane.
- the stem cells directly replace alveoli.
- both type I and type II cells produce surfactant.
- the type I cells secrete surfactant and the type II cells form the respiratory
membrane. - ANSWER -the type II cells secrete surfactant and the type I cells
form the respiratory membrane.
