efficiency

In the alveoli gas exchange takes place (external respiration). Which gas will
diffuse from the blood into the lungs?
a Oxygen.
b Ambient air.
c Carbon dioxide.
d Carbon monoxide.

id 97
Which statement is correct ?
a Oxygen diffusion from the lungs into the blood does not depend on partial oxyg
en pressure.
b The blood plasma is transporting the oxygen.
c The gradient of diffusion is higher at altitude than it is at sea-level.
d Oxygen diffusion from the blood into the cells depends on their partial oxygen
pressure
gradient.
