Question

Most living things need oxygen to survive. You breathe in oxygen and it is carried to this organ. Here the red blood cells pick up the oxygen and carry the oxygen to all the body cells that need it. What is this organ?
A) diaphragm
B) heart
C) lungs
D) trachea

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be the C) lungs.

Lungs are the pair of air-filled spongy organs.

They are mainly associated with the exchange of gases (carbon dioxide and oxygen) in the body.

The alveoli are the group of tiny air-sacs present in the lungs which form the site of gas exchange.

The oxygen from the alveolar site diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveolar site.

The oxygen is then transported to all cells of the body with the help of circulatory system whereas carbon dioxide is removed out of the body as a part of exhaled air.

Answer 2

C) the lungs.
The air moves down the trachea and into the lungs where it is picked up by the blood
