Which of the following processes causes most of the carbon dioxide from the blood to move into the alveoli?

A. Diffusion down a concentration gradient

B. Conversion of carbon monoxide

C. Passive transport using carrier proteins

D. Active transport using energy

Answer Explanation:

Carbon dioxide moves from the blood to the alveoli through the process of diffusion. The blood has a high concentration of carbon dioxide than the alveoli.
Therefore, carbon dioxide diffuses from blood to alveoli through the cell membrane.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.
