We find that carbon dioxide is removed from the body via what is called gas exchange in the lungs. When we inhale, air is drawn into the lungs, and the alveoli in the lungs are the sites where gas exchange takes place. Carbon dioxide exits the blood, and oxygen enters. When we exhale, the carbon dioxide is carried out of the body, and the process is repeated with another breath.

The most important gas distributed to all cells of the body by blood is?

Oxygen! Remember it isn't the only gas. CO2 is also removed from cells in the body.


How does C02 get out of the body?

Carbon Dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration. After your cells remove CO2 as a waste product, it travels back through the blood, into capillaries in the lungs. From there, the CO2 is removed through exhalation when you breathe. An important thing to note is that your exhaled breath is not 100% CO2. It is a mixture of room air and CO2.


Which gas is removed from blood by respiratory system?

CO2


What happens to pH when co2 is removed from water?

When CO2 is removed from water, the pH of the water will increase. This is because CO2 reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which lowers the pH. Removing CO2 will shift the equilibrium towards the formation of H2O and CO2, leading to a decrease in the concentration of H+ ions and an increase in pH.


What gas is removed from the air by potassium hydroxide?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is removed from the air by potassium hydroxide. Potassium hydroxide reacts with CO2 to form potassium carbonate and water, thereby removing the CO2 gas from the air.


How is carbon monoxide and nitrogen are removed in a catalytic converter?

They are not removed. They are converted from CO and NOx to CO2 and N2.


What will happen when the pH of water when the co2 is removed from the water?

When CO2 is removed from water, the pH of the water will increase. This is because CO2 dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which decreases the pH of the water. Removing the CO2 will shift the equilibrium towards fewer hydrogen ions, resulting in a higher pH.


How does the body maintain the homeostatic pH of the blood?

CO2 is the body's natural acid, so if your body has too much CO2 it will begin to compensate. Your body "blows off" CO2 through your respiratory system. Increased respiratory rate and depth will "blow off" excess CO2
