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

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 is the equation for respiration in the human body?

The equation for respiration in the human body is C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP). This represents the process where glucose and oxygen are used to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration.


What are C6H12O6 and O2 converted into in cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 And O2 will give you Carbon dioxide, water and energy


What organelles take up CO2 and give off O2 in plant cells?

Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for taking up CO2 and producing O2 in plant cells through the process of photosynthesis. Within the chloroplasts, the green pigment chlorophyll absorbs light energy to drive this reaction.


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 substance needed by the body cells enters the body through the lungs?

Where are alveoli located in human body?

Alveoli are very tiny air sacs found in the lungs where CO2 and O2 are changed.


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 explains that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. As CO2 is more soluble in blood than O2, even though the partial pressure difference is smaller for CO2, more CO2 can be exchanged between the alveoli and blood due to its higher solubility.


Which gases will be exchanged in the stomata?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide. (O2) and (CO2)


Why do you have a lungs?

What gases are exchanged in the lings during breathing?

The primary gases we breath are Oxygen (21%), Nitrogen (78%) and "others" (1%). The gases exchanged in the lungs are Carbon Dioxide (CO2) with Oxygen (O2)...red blood cells carry Oxygen to replace the CO2 that our body produces through metabolism, muscle movement and all other activity.141038-1110O


What does O2 CO2 and H2O do in the lungs?

In the lungs, oxygen (O2) is taken in from the air and passes into the bloodstream for delivery to cells throughout the body. Carbon dioxide (CO2), a waste product of cellular metabolism, is removed from the bloodstream and exhaled out of the body. Water (H2O) vapor is also exchanged during breathing to help maintain proper moisture levels in the respiratory system.
