Red blood cells have the responsibility of transporting oxygen throughout the body. About 33% of the weight of a red blood cell is attributed to a specialized protein called hemoglobin. Because of this, red blood cells are often referred to as "bags of hemoglobin."

What is an animal's smallest structure organ cell tissue or carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide
Where does carbon dioxide enter the body?
Carbon dioxide is a by-product of oxidative metabolism whereby sugars are broken down and their carbon molecules are transformed to C02 with the 02 coming from inhaled oxygen. Carbon dioxide leaves the body by diffusing from the tissue into the blood then leaving the body through the lungs.
What are the products of tissue respiration?
carbon dioxide and water
What are three ways carbon dioxide can be transported from the tissue into the blood?
carbonic acid, carbamino compounds and dissolved gas
What are organs made up of?
carbon based molecules
How do plants get carbon dioxide?
Most plants have special structures on their leaves called stomates. Carbon dioxide is drawn into the leaf tissue through these pore-like structures.
What happens to cells in respiration?
They burn energy from ATP molecules and produce carbon dioxide. Then they wait for diffusion of oxygen to enter and 'recharge the ADP molecules back into ATP molecules so they can burn them again. As a simpler way to say it: In tissue respiration carbon dioxide is released and oxygen is re-absorbed. This the word equation for celluar respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 -------------------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ~38 ATP
Where does oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and exit the plant during photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide is a by-product of oxidative metabolism whereby sugars are broken down and their carbon molecules are transformed to C02 with the 02 coming from inhaled oxygen. Carbon dioxide leaves the body by diffusing from the tissue into the blood then leaving the body through the lungs.
Does the carbon dioxide travels into capillaries alveolar and out of the capillaries at the tissue?
In the alveoli
How plant get carbon dioxide?
Most plants have special structures on their leaves called stomates. Carbon dioxide is drawn into the leaf tissue through these pore-like structures.
What drives the movement of carbon dioxide from tissue into the bloodstream?
Movement of carbon dioxide is driffen by osmosis from and to the tissue and bloodstream. Also active transport can be used. Amount of CO2 present is monitored by means of the pH of your blood as dissolved CO2 is acidic.
Sugar is converted into carbon dioxide during what process in the body?
Tissue respiration in animals where an ATP molecule is used to release energy, and at the same time it produces carbon dioxide.
