    Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli via diffusion, as explained in the NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 14 Notes Breathing and Exchange of Gases. Oxygen from alveolar air diffuses into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide from the bloodstream diffuses into the alveoli. The process is facilitated by the gradient of partial pressures of gases.
