Red blood cells, specifically the protein hemoglobin within them, are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues throughout the body, while also carrying carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation.

What structures of the circulatory system carry blood containing carbon dioxide from the body back to the heart?

Veins are the main structures of the circulatory system that carry blood containing carbon dioxide from the body back to the heart. The pulmonary veins are particularly responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.


What process is responsible for transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the alveolar membrane?

The process responsible for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the alveolar membrane is called diffusion. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli. This process is driven by differences in partial pressures of these gases on either side of the membrane.

When carbon monoxide and oxygen react carbon dioxide forms?

When carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen under proper conditions, it produces carbon dioxide. This reaction typically occurs during combustion processes such as burning fossil fuels like gasoline. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas, whereas carbon dioxide is a byproduct of respiration and combustion.


What gas is increasing due to the destruction of the rain forest?

Both carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide is caused by breathing of animals, and carbon monoxide is caused by burning. Trees and vegetation will absorb either. Carbon trioxide is unstable and does not exist outside of laboratories.
