Human gas-exchange occurs in the lungs. Once air enters the lungs, diffusion of O2 and CO2 occurs in the alveoli.

What is the equation for respiration in the human body?
Oxygen+glucose = carbon dioxide + water +energy
Where is carbon dioxide you are exhaling produced?
co2 is produced the as a waste product in your blood stream. when you inhale you red blood cells take up O2 from your lungs and store it in your Hemoglobin which is located in the RBC. Then your RBC travels thru your heart and you to you body delivering o2 to your organs and tissues. Once your Hemoglobin[Hb] releases o2 to the tissue it exchanges it for CO2 which is the byproduct of respiration. now the RBC flows thru your capilaries to you veins and back to the heart where it then goes to the lungs and gets exchanged for O2 and the co2 will now be exhaled out of your body.
What happens to rubisco when o2 concentration is much higher then CO2 concentration?
When ther is a higher concentration of O2 than CO2, rubisco can bind O2 in place of CO2.
What organelles take up CO2 and give off O2 in plant cells?
Chloroplasts take up CO2 and give off O2.
How does the body get rid of gaseous waste?
Gaseous waste is expelled from the body primarily through respiration. A process called gas exchange takes place in the lungs. With every breath we take, some quantity of the waste gases (like carbon dioxide, or CO2) in our blood is exchanged for oxygen (O2) in the air inspired. Note that anything else in the air that we inhale can be carried across and into the blood.
What is it called when O2 and CO2 exchanged?
photosynthesis
Which two gases are exchanged in the capillaries?
O2 and CO2
What two gases are exchanged in respinatory system?
o2 co2
What happens to the blood inside the pulmonary capillaries?
Gasses are exchanged (CO2 is lost & O2 is gained).
Which gas law explains why there is as much CO2 exchanged between the alveoli and blood as there is O2 exchanged despite the fact that the partial pressure difference is so much smaller for CO2?
Henry's law
Where are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the body?
The alveoli sacks have many capillaries and the exchange occurs. O2 from the lungs hits the blood and CO2 is just given off.
Which two gases are exchanged in the lungs?
oxygen and carbon dioxide
Where are alveoli located in human body?
Alveoli are very tiny air sacs found in the lungs where CO2 and O2 are changed.
What is the equation for respiration in the human body?
Oxygen+glucose = carbon dioxide + water +energy
What substance needed by the body cells enters the body through the lungs?
O2 and Co2, but we breathe out the Co2 again + the O2 which is converted in more Co2
Where is carbon dioxide you are exhaling produced?
co2 is produced the as a waste product in your blood stream. when you inhale you red blood cells take up O2 from your lungs and store it in your Hemoglobin which is located in the RBC.

Which gases will be exchanged in the stomata?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide. (O2) and (CO2)
