Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbon dioxide tends to ____ animal cells.
A
stay inside
B
enter into
C
exit out of (or diffuse)
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gas exchange occurs when oxygen from the air that is breathed in flows into an animal’s blood via a process called diffusion. In exchange, the carbon dioxide that cells produce as a waste product diffuses from the blood into the air and is breathed out.

Detailed explanation-2: -The carbon dioxide diffuses out of the red blood cells, through the capillary walls, and into the alveolar spaces f exhaled.

Detailed explanation-3: -Figure 4 During internal respiration, oxygen diffuses out of the capillary and into cells, whereas carbon dioxide diffuses out of cells and into the capillary.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some substances (small molecules, ions) such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2), can move across the plasma membrane by diffusion, which is a passive transport process.

Detailed explanation-5: -Substances like oxygen, carbon dioxide and glucose move in and out of cells by diffusion.
