Question
which product of respiration is considered waste material and leaves the alveoli? oxygen water carbon dioxide carbon monoxide
In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are used to produce energy, and the waste products are carbon dioxide and water. During gas exchange in the alveoli, carbon dioxide (a waste) moves from the blood to the alveoli to be exhaled. Oxygen is taken in, water is not the main waste leaving alveoli as gas, and carbon monoxide is not a normal respiration product. So the correct option is carbon dioxide.
