Clams perform O2-CO2 exchange through their gills. They extract oxygen from water flowing over their gills and release carbon dioxide into the water. This process allows clams to obtain the oxygen needed for respiration and expel the waste carbon dioxide from their bodies.
The very lowest airways are involved in the exchange of gases (CO2 and O2).
Tissues throughout the body, particularly those with high metabolic activity such as muscles and organs, will give carbon dioxide (CO2) to the blood in exchange for oxygen (O2). This exchange occurs primarily in the capillaries, where oxygen is delivered to tissues, and CO2, a byproduct of cellular respiration, is transported back to the bloodstream. The process is facilitated by diffusion, allowing gases to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration.
The process that exchanges O2 and CO2 is called respiration. In animals, oxygen is inhaled into the lungs, where it diffuses into the bloodstream and is transported to cells for cellular respiration, producing energy. During this process, carbon dioxide, a waste product, is produced and transported back to the lungs, where it is exhaled. In plants, a similar exchange occurs during photosynthesis, where CO2 is taken in and O2 is released.
This reaction is:2 CO2 = 2 CO + O2
The balanced equation for the reaction of C6H12O6 with O2 to form CO2 and H2O is: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
CO2 and O2
To exchange gases such as co2 and o2
The lungs are an exchange point where CO2 leaves and O2 enters the blood
O2 in and CO2 out for animals, and the opposite for plants.
it will go back to the lungs carrying CO2 to exchange with O2
The very lowest airways are involved in the exchange of gases (CO2 and O2).
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Oxygen(O2)
provides space for gas exchange, to allow CO2 in and O2 out.
The very lowest airways are involved in the exchange of gases (CO2 and O2).
It provides O2 and eliminates CO2 during respiration, It is essential for photosynthesis as it provides CO2 o plants .
Oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) can be considered fluids because they can flow and adapt to the shape of their container like a fluid, even though they are gases. In the context of biology and physiology, they are often referred to as fluid because they are involved in the circulation and exchange of gases in living organisms.
it help in the exchange of o2 in blood capillary and co2 from blood capillary into alveolus
