It does not require energy. It move down the concentration gradient naturally.

Does the carbon dioxide travels into capillaries alveolar and out of the capillaries at the tissue?
In the alveoli
Where are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the lungs?
oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in alveoli (singular alveolus).
What are the small sacs in the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
The humorus
Does the exchange of carbon dioxide depend on the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli and the blood?
No. It depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli and the blood. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, so carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli of the lungs and is exhaled.
Does carbon dioxide pass into the blood?
Carbon dioxide passes into the blood at the capillaries of the systemic circulation. Then it is released at capillaries around the alveoli.
How does carbon dioxide get out of your blood?
Diffusion in the capillaries of the alveoli in the lungs.
By what process does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?
capillaries and the alveoli
What gas leaves the blood in pulmonary capillaries and enters the alveoli?
carbon dioxide
What takes place between the alveoli and capillaries in the lungs?
When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream. During the same process, carbon dioxide is outgassed from the blood to the alveoli When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream.

Does carbon dioxide diffuse from the capillaries to the alveoli?
yes while oxygen then diffuses into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses out. it's a chain
What principle causes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the capillaries and the alveoli?
diffusion
What is another example of diffusion other than osmosis?
The transfer of oxygen from the alveoli into the capillaries in the lungs, and the transfer of carbon dioxide from the capillaries into the alveoli (i.e. breathing in, and the oxygen going into the blood, and carbon dioxide going into the lungs to be expelled when we breathe out).
