Increase decrease no change In the lungs, oxygen is taken from the inhaled air and dissolved in blood for distribution to the cells. Does this result in an increase or decrease in the entropy or no change for the oxygen? Increase decrease no change Also in the lungs, the carbon dioxide waste product from the cells is released from blood and exhaled into the surroundings.
