Carbon dioxide is removed from your lungs every time you ____
A
exhale
B
inhale
C
eat
D
drink
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a waste product of cellular metabolism. You get rid of it when you breathe out (exhale). This gas is transported in the opposite direction to oxygen: It passes from the bloodstream – across the lining of the air sacs – into the lungs and out into the open.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypercarbia or hypercapnia is the condition that occurs when carbon dioxide is retained in the lungs. As carbon dioxide accumulates in the lungs, it does not allow for the effective exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen. As a result, carbon dioxide accumulates in the bloodstream.
