Where are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the lungs?
oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in alveoli (singular alveolus).
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.
What are the small sacs in the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
The humorus
Where are gases exchanged in the respiratory system?
carbon dioxide and oxygen
What are the structures that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood?
The tiny air sacs of the lungs were oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are the alveoli.
Which gas law explains why there is much carbon dioxide exchanged between alveoli as there is oxygen exchanged?
diffusion
Which substances are exchanged between the blood in the capillaries and the air in the alveoli?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water are the substances exchanged between the alveoli (air sacs) and the capillaries in the lungs.
What Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged through structures in the lungs called?
Alveoli. this is the right answer
What gases are exchanged in the repitory ystem?
Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli of the lungs into the blood. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli of the lung where is will be exhaled.
What gases are begin exchanged in the alveoli?
Mostly oxygen & carbon dioxide - but also some nitrogen.
What part of the lower respiratory tract is made up of tiny air sacs where oxygen and dioxide are exchanged?
Inside the lungs are alveoli (tiny air sacs). This is where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
Is oxygen exchanged for carbon dioxide?
Yes, in the Lungs at the base of the multi-branching tracheal tubes within the Alveoli.
