Best Answer

Gas exchanges occur by simple diffusion through the respiratory membrane -- oxygen passing from the alveolar air into the capillary blood and carbon dioxide leaving the blood to enter the gas-filled aveoli.

Exchange of both oxygen and carbon dioxide through the respiratory membrane occurs by cellular respiration and by photosynthesis. This can vary depending on the cell.

How do the heart and lungs work?

When we breathe in our lungs fill with oxygen rich air. Membranes in the lungs exchange the oxygen from the air with carbon dioxide in the blood. Then we breathe out the spent air to inhale fresh. The blood, now replenished with oxygen, is pumped by the heart through the arteries to all cells in the body where the oxygen is exchanged with the cells for carbon dioxide and returned through the veins to the lungs.

How are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the Lings and though all cell membranes?

They enter/exit through a passive transport process called diffusion. It is caused by a concentration gradient within the two things being exchanged. The molecules diffuse across the membrane from the high concentration to the lower concentration side.
