What is the majority of carbon dioxide carried through the bloodstream in the form of?
The preponderance of oxygen is carried through the rectum
Oxygen goes in when you breath or when you exhale?
You inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, and plants produce oxygen using carbon dioxide, called photosynthesis.
When a group of Carbon and Oxygen bonded together what is it called?
carbon dioxide
Which 2 gases are exchanged at the surface of the air sac?
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged. The plant uses the carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis and expels oxygen.
Is sulfur dioxide part of carbon dioxide?
No. Sulfur dioxide is sulfur and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is carbon and oxygen. They are two different substances.
What is the name of the gas which passes from the bloodstream into the lungs called?
Carbon Dioxide
What are the tiny air sacs through which oxygen and carbon dioxide pass in and out the bloodstream?
These are called the "alveoli".
What is the process called in which oxygen enters the body and carbon dioxide exits the body?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide travel into and out of the bloodstream via diffusion across alveolar and capillary membranes.
What Organ Separates Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide?
I wouldn't exactly characterize it as separating carbon dioxide and oxygen, however, I think the answer you are looking for is the lungs which takes up oxygen into the bloodstream and expels carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream into the lungs so we can breathe it out again.
The goal of breathing is to delivers what?
To deliver oxygen to the bloodstream and to remove carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.
Are tiny air sacs through which oxygen and carbon dioxide pass in and out of the bloodstream.?
The air sacs are called Alveoli
Where is oxygen switched with carbon dioxide?
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.
External respiration refers to the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between?
Alveoli and bloodstream
Which organ does carbon dioxide leave the body?
In the lungs. This process is called the Gas Exchange.Gas exchange is the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream to the lungs. It occurs in the lungs between the alveoli and a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which are located in the walls of the alveoli.
Where in a mammal's body does oxygen enter the bloodstream?
Blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs.
Where in a mammals's body does oxygen enter the bloodstream?
Blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs.
Could carbon be called carbon dioxide?
No. Carbon dioxide contains oxygen as well as carbon.
