Which of the following statements is not correct of respiration?

The statement that is not correct of respiration is: "Carbondioxide produced in the tissues is removed by the process of osmosis." Carbon dioxide produced in the tissues is not removed by the process of osmosis, but rather by diffusion. During respiration, cells produce carbon dioxide as a waste product, which diffuses out of the cells and into the bloodstream. From there, it is transported to the lungs where it diffuses across the respiratory membrane and is exhaled. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane, while diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that carbon dioxide is removed by osmosis in the process of respiration.
