part 1 Breath out. When you breathe in, you take in oxygen. The oxygen is transfered from the lungs to the alveoli, which then transfers it into the bloodstream. The blood cells that have no oxygen, take the oxygen and deliver it to parts of the body that need it. The carbon dioxide is then breathed out of your body. part 2 The atoms used to make carbon dioxide are two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.(hence the name CARBON dioxide, and CO2.)
