Carbon and Oxygen are atoms (although the terms can also be use for some corresponding pure molecules like O2). Carbon dioxide is a molecule. It is more different from carbon and Oxygen than a chair is different from wood and nails...

How is the movement of oxygen in the body similar to and different to the movement of carbon dioxide?

So the movement of oxygen in the body is different to the movement of carbon dioxide as while oxygen enters the red blood cells during this movement the carbon dioxide stays out. It stays in the plasma. Also for the movement of carbon dioxide to happen oxygen is needed. Its a product of aerobic respiration. The movement of oxygen in the body is similar to the movement of carbon dioxide as both processes require respiration and pass through the walls of the capillaries.
