what drives diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs between a blood cell to an alveolus?
Answers
Answer:
The alveoli has the ability to to absorb or diffuse oxygen... There is nothing that drives diffusion
Explanation:
As the mixture of air is inhailed.. The oxygen from the air diffuses to the lung alvioli.. And after transportation of o2 around the body, the co2 from the blood is diffused to the air present in our lungs.. Alvioli acts as a barrier between air and blood..
Hope it helped you my friend.. Please mark me as brainliest..
Answer:
Difference in Partial Pressure of Oxygen and Carbondioxide in Alveoli as well as Blood Capillary surrounding it. This causes diffusion movements from Blood Capillary to Basement Membrane and then to Alveoli.
Partial Pressure of 0xygen in alveoli is 104 mm of Hg, and in blood capillary is 40 mm of Hg.
Partial Pressure of Carbondioxide in alveoli is 40 mm of Hg and in blood capillary is 45 mm of Hg.
