Substances move down their concentration gradient. By that I mean where they move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This is essentially diffusion. Nutrients like glucose or oxygen that are high in the blood but low in the tissues, diffuse from the blood into the tissues. Wastes like carbon dioxide which are high in the tissues but low in the blood, diffuse from the tissues into the blood.

Chemicals are exchanged between cells and blood through processes such as diffusion and active transport. Oxygen and nutrients are transported from the blood to the cells, while waste products and carbon dioxide are transported from the cells to the blood. This exchange occurs across the walls of capillaries, which have thin walls that allow for efficient diffusion of molecules between the blood and cells.

Which substances are exchanged between the blood in the capillaries and the air in the alveoli?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water are the substances exchanged between the alveoli (air sacs) and the capillaries in the lungs.
Which gas law explains why there is as much CO2 exchanged between the alveoli and blood as there is O2 exchanged despite the fact that the partial pressure difference is so much smaller for CO2?

Where are carbon dioxide and blood in the body?
CO2 exchanged to blood through capillaries and blood to alveoli
When gases are exchanged between the alveoli and blood what body systems are involved?
The respiratory and circulatory systems are involved in the exchange of gases between the alveoli and blood. The alveoli are part of the lungs, and their surrounding capillaries are part of the circulatory system.
How are chemicals exchanged between blood and cells?
diffusion: particles move from a high concentration to a low concentration
What are exchanged between the body cells and the blood plasma?
There are many substances they exchange, but the main ones are oxygen from the blood to the cells and CO2 from the cells to the blood.

Which substances are exchanged between the blood in the capillaries and the air in the alveoli?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water are the substances exchanged between the alveoli (air sacs) and the capillaries in the lungs.
How is gas exchanged between the lung and the blood?
Yes, oxygen is transferred to the blood via aveolae in the lungs.

Which two gases are exchanged in the aveoli?
At the aveoli, the blood transfers CO2 and the hemoglobin on red blood cells picks up 02.
