Explanation:

Deoxygenated blood (low in oxygen, high in carbon dioxide) travels to the lungs. In the lungs, through the process of gas exchange in the alveoli, oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses into the blood (so blood picks up oxygen), and carbon dioxide (a waste product) diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled (so blood releases carbon dioxide). This converts deoxygenated blood to oxygenated blood.

Answer:

It picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide
