19. Respiratory and Circulatory
Blood circulates through the heart chambers, lungs, and body and carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged in the lungs and tissues.
Plants use carbon dioxide and energy from sunlight to build molecules of sugar and release oxygen.
Plant and animal cells break down sugar to obtain energy, a process resulting in carbon dioxide and water.
