How does a molecule of oxygen travel through your nose, down to your feet, and out your mouth?

its breathed in, and from the lungs is soaked into the blood, then it travels to your heart, which pumps it too all of your other working parts. then you exhale carbon monoxide, which is toxic, go figure

It goes to the lung where blood absorb some of the Oxygen. Hemoglobin grabs the oxygen and carries it through out the body. When a cell lacks oxygen, it makes the blood acidic through CO2 and lactic acid. THe acidic environment cause the hemoglobin to change its shape and force it pop out the oxygen.

the oxygen that we breath in will go through the airway until it arrives at alveoli.
The capilaries which is have short distance and large surface area to the volume ratio will decrease the resistance of diffusion of oxygen molecules inside the body.After the oxygen diffuse into capilaries the haemoglobin will release carbon dioxide (CO2) and binds to the oxygen due to a concentraton gradient.
After that,the blood will travels to the whole body through arteries to exchange the oxgen with the CO2 starting from the heart and the circulation continues

Oxygen carried by the blood to all over the body. when the heart pumps the amount of oxygen will spread to all part of the body. The blood carries oxygen, nutritions and water to all part of the body.

see when we breathe, our lungs get filled with oxygen. When blood from the heart enters our lungs, oxygen diffuses into the heamoglobin present in blood. the blood carrys this owygen to every cell through the arteries, then the deoxygenated blood(blood without oxygen cuz its been used by the cells) goes back into the lungs through the veins, and we breathe it out

Blood carries oxygen throughout the body.
Sounds like you're doing your homework.

Through blood

Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, such as to the muscles, where it releases the oxygen load.

It is absorbed by the platelets(redblood cells) and travels to the different parts of yourbody that way, and isabsorbed from theplatelets to thecells by simply rubbing against each other. its like osmosis
