In two different respiratory systems, respiratory membranes 1 and 2 represent membrane barriers between the outside medium and the inside of the organism. Which of the following is a true statement about these two membranes? Respiratory membrane 1 Respiratory membrane 2 O Respiratory membrane 1 and respiratory membrane 2 would have equal rates of diffusion. Repiratory membrane 1 would have a higher rate of diffusion because it has a higher surface area for exchange. O Repiratory membrane 1 would have a higher rate of diffusion because it has a greater difference in partial pressures of gas between the outside and inside of the organism. Repiratory membrane 2 would have a higher rate of diffusion because it has a greater difference in partial pressures of gas between the outside and inside of the organism. O Repiratory membrane 2 would have a higher rate of diffusion because it has a higher surface area for exchange.

Which of the following would lead to an increase in the rate of diffusion? O Decrease in concentration gradient O Decrease in molecular mass of a gas O Decrease in temperature
The small capillaries in the lungs are in close contact with the alveoli. A red blood cell takes up oxygen during the 0.5 s that it squeezes through a capillary at the surface of an alveolus. What is the diffusion time for oxygen across the 1-μm -thick membrane separating air from blood? Assume that the diffusion coefficient for oxygen in tissue is 2×10−11m2/s. Give your answer to 1 significant figure.
Of the following options, which does NOT increase the rate of diffusion? O larger surface area O smaller concentration gradien O higher temperature O short distance to go
In Florida every hurricane season, residents that have generators are warned to make sure their generators are well-ventilated and placed outside the home. You have been hired by the state to create a public service announcement to warn the general public about the use of generators indoors after a hurricane. Your supervisor wants you to explain to the public the diffusion process in the lungs and how it is related to possible death from inhaling carbon monoxide exhaust from the generator. Diffusion in the lungs explained Why diffusion of oxygen across the membrane may still occur but it won't be delivered to cells. Effect of CO on hemoglobin
why is the diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multicellular organisms like humans?
Which of the following statements is correct about passive facilitated diffusion? (select all that apply) V It is a process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration (or up a concentration gradient). O It requires a transport protein. O It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell. O It is a process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration (or down a concentration gradient). O It involves movement of molecules up a concentration gradient and requires a transport protein.
Within the mammalian respiratory system (lungs), which of the following does NOT involve diffusion? -movement of oxygen from red blood cells to the body's cells -the movement of blood through arteries -movement of oxygen from alveoli into red blood cells -transfer of carbon dioxide from the body's cells into blood -release of carbon dioxide from blood into the lungs
Explain differences: diffusion facilitated diffusion, active transport. Which of these describes gas exchange in lung, Na+/K+ pump, glucose entry into the cell? 22. Where do you find serous/ mucus membranes? Where do you find goblet cells? What special function do goblet cells perform?
This is a diffusion topic: During the time the simulation ran, did the concentration of either the oxygen molecules or the carbon dioxide molecules ever reach a state of equilibrium inside and outside of the cell? Why or why not? If equilibrium was reached, how long did it last? Explain why. The picture where the levels are not leveled was toward the beginning of the 30 seconds. The picture where the levels are even was towards the end of the 30 seconds.
A current working hypothesis is that human diseasescharacterized by incurable weakness and lethargy may sometimesarise in part from loss of blood capillaries. Basing your answer onthe laws of diffusion, explain how transport to and from a tissuewould be affected if 20% of its capillaries were lost.
Which of the following is NOT an example of where the surface area to volume ratio is increased to improve diffusion: microvilli in the small intestine of a human alveoli in the lungs of a mouse o air sacs in the respiratory system of a bird long intestine in an earth worm lamallae in gills of fish
