Step 1: Diffusion is limited by concentration gradient
Here, we are talking about the movement of O2 and CO2 between lungs and blood, across a semipermeable membrane. O2 and CO2 can move across a semipermeable membrane via simple diffusion.
Simple diffusion is limited by concentration gradient. This means that there won't be any net diffusion of molecules across a membrane once the concentration gradient is no more. A concentration gradient exists across a semipermeable membrane when the concentration of the diffusing molecule is higher on one side of the membrane, compared to other. Molecules will diffuse from the side where their concentration is higher to the side with lower concentration.
