Carbon dioxide, made by the cells as they do their work, moves out of the cells into the capillaries, where most of it dissolves in the plasma of the blood. Blood rich in carbon dioxide then returns to the heart via the veins.
carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP. It diffuses out of the cell into the bloodstream and is ultimately expelled from the body through exhalation. This process helps to maintain the balance of gases in the body and prevent toxicity from high carbon dioxide levels.
The carbon dioxide is dissolved in your blood. The blood travels round the body, to the lungs. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are exchanged during breathing. The Carbon Dioxide is exhaled from the lungs, through the mouth.
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.
Carbon dioxide is absorbed by the palisade cell. The palisade cell is a plant cell and without them the plant would die. Plants need carbon dioxide so they can produce food. Through photosynthesis (when a plant uses light to convert carbon dioxide into food).
Mitochondria do not absorb carbon dioxide. They are involved in producing ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through cellular respiration, a process that requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. This carbon dioxide is then released from the cell into the bloodstream and eventually exhaled from the body.
Carbon dioxide enters plant cells through small openings on the surface of leaves called stomata. The stomata open to allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into the plant cell during photosynthesis, where it is used to produce glucose and oxygen.
The leaves of a plant absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide enters the plant through small openings called stomata on the surface of the leaves.
chlorophyll inside the leaves, carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
Blood is a transport fluid. It mainly transports oxygenated blood (blood containing oxygen) from the heart around the body to every cell. Carbon dioxide, which is a waste produced in cellular respiration, is removed from the cell into the blood, and replaced with oxygen. The carbon dioxide is then transported in deoxygenated blood (blood containing carbon dioxide) towards the heart and lungs (through veins) to be expelled from the body. So basically, blood must be delivered to cells in the body to supply oxygen for cellular activities, supply essential nutrients to the cell, and remove waste products (such as carbon dioxide) from the cell.
The byproducts of cellular respiration are water, ammonia and carbon dioxide. These are not used by the cell. Carbon dioxide is removed from the body through respiration. Ammonia and water are removed from the body through urine.
Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) are responsible for carrying oxygen (or carbon dioxide) around the body.
