FINAL JEOPARDY!
Write a paragraph describing the journey of a carbon dioxide molecule from a cell, all the way until it is exhaled from the body. The molecule must travel through 2 systems. In your explanation, name at least 3 organs for each system.
Answers may vary
•
Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cells and into the capillaries, where it attaches to a red blood cell. It travels through veins on the way to the heart. The heart pumps it back toward the lungs. Carbon dioxide diffuses from capillaries into the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs. It travels through the bronchi and the trachea, and finally is exhaled from the nose and mouth.
