What is the substance that moves from the bloodstream to the air via the lungs?
deoxygenated blood
How does Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of a leaf through the?
leaves have pores on there underside that allow carbon dioxide in and let oxygen out
How does oxygen enter your body?
Oxygen (O2) enters your body through breathing air, which contains oxygen in it. This oxygen goes into your lungs where it is put into the bloodstream, supplied to cells in your body, returned to the lungs as carbon dioxide (CO2), and exhaled through the lungs.
When a carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is the?
Carbon dioxide is the product; oxygen and carbon are the reactants.
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is?
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.
What is the majority of carbon dioxide carried through the bloodstream in the form of?
The preponderance of oxygen is carried through the rectum
What are the tiny air sacs through which oxygen and carbon dioxide pass in and out the bloodstream?
These are called the "alveoli".
How do you resive oxygen and remove carbon dioxide?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are moved to and from body tissues via the circulatory system. These materials diffuse through the cell membrane, and then diffuse through the capillary wall into or out of the bloodstream.
What Organ Separates Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide?
I wouldn't exactly characterize it as separating carbon dioxide and oxygen, however, I think the answer you are looking for is the lungs which takes up oxygen into the bloodstream and expels carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream into the lungs so we can breathe it out again.
The goal of breathing is to delivers what?
To deliver oxygen to the bloodstream and to remove carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.
What is gas exchange in the lungs?
The process in which oxygen enters the bloodstream through the alveolus and carbon dioxide exits the bloodstream also through the same alveolus to be exhaled.
What is the name of the gas which passes from the bloodstream into the lungs called?
Carbon Dioxide
Where does carbon dioxide leave the body?
The red blood cells in your body contain oxygen and carbon dioxide. So, as the red blood cells travel through your bloodstream, the oxygen travels through to your heart, then your lungs, along with the oxygen.
Where is oxygen switched with carbon dioxide?
Oxygen becomes carbon dioxide when it acts as a means of transporting carbon out of the cell. Oxygen (O2) is brought to any cell in the body by the bloodstream, where it picks up some of the cells carbon (C) waste. Hence, it becomes CO2, or carbon dioxide.
External respiration refers to the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between?
Alveoli and bloodstream
What are the tiny air sacs called which oxygen and carbon dioxide pass in and out of the bloodstream?
Alveoli
What is the process called in which oxygen enters the body and carbon dioxide exits the body?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide travel into and out of the bloodstream via diffusion across alveolar and capillary membranes.
