c
What is the difference between the conducting zone and the respiratory zone of the respiratory system?
A.) The conducting zone moves oxygen into the cells and the respiratory zone takes carbon dioxide away from the cells.
B.) The conducting zone moves oxygen into the bloodstream and the respiratory zone takes carbon dioxide away from the bloodstream.
