CO₂ out

Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out, across the respiratory surface

Name the respiratory surface first, then trace oxygen to it and carbon dioxide away from it. Different organisms use different surfaces.

Find the tested idea

Write down the quantities, directions or conditions given in the stem before selecting a formula or rule.

Work from the evidence

Use one governing relationship at a time. For a visual question, trace the path; for a numerical question, keep units and signs consistent.

Verify before choosing

Use the wording, diagram and units exactly as given. Select an option only after it satisfies every stated condition.
