Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do we take in when we inhale?
A
carbon dioxide
B
oxygen
C
lungs
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When you inhale (breathe in), air enters your lungs, and oxygen from that air moves to your blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste gas, moves from your blood to the lungs and is exhaled (breathed out). This process, called gas exchange, is essential to life.

Detailed explanation-2: -During inhalation oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is given out during exhalation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Three vital respiratory gases-oxygen (O(2)), nitric oxide (NO), and carbon dioxide (CO(2))-intersect at the level of the human red blood cell (RBC).

Detailed explanation-4: -While we breathe, we inhale oxygen along with nitrogen and carbon dioxide which co-exist in air. The inhaled air reaches lungs and enters alveoli where oxygen diffuses out from alveoli into blood, which enters into lungs via pulmonary capillaries, and carbon dioxide diffuses into alveoli from blood.
