If the carbon dioxide level in the blood is 46mm Hg and the carbon dioxide level in the alveoli is 40 mm Hg, then carbon dioxide moves by
simple diffusion from the alveoli into the blood
simple diffusion from the blood into the alveoli
active transport from the alveoll into the blood
by active transport from the blood into the alveoli
Simple diffusion from blood to alveoli.
The respiratory gases uses supple diffusion mechanism to transfer between the tissues. CO2 like other gases moves from a region of high partial pressure to low partial pressure region. The partial pressure of CO2 in blood is more than that of alveoli. So CO2 diffuses from blood to the alveoli.
If the carbon dioxide level in the blood is 46mm Hg and the carbon dioxide level in the alveoli is 40 mm Hg
During respiratory exchange, carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli due to: the presence of a permease , which removes carbon dioxide from the capillaries. the contraction of the diaphragm, which creates a vacuum that pulls it out. diffusion down a concentration gradient. the air pressure of dissolved oxygen, which forces it out. two of the choices are correct
Follow the fate of carbon dioxide (CO2) through the process of ventilation and select the correct partial pressure of carbon dioxide at each of these locations in a healthy individual. Note: you may not used all pressures and one pressure may be used more than once.

A mixture of carbon dioxide and methane gases, at a total pressure of 690 mm Hg, contains 4.51 grams of carbon dioxide and 2.08 grams of methane. What is the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture? mm Hg mm Hg Pco
A mixture of carbon dioxide and argon gases, at a total pressure of 935 mm Hg, contains 5.88 grams of carbon dioxide and 11.1 grams of argon. What is the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture? PCO2 = mm Hg PAr = mm Hg
A mixture of argon and carbon dioxide gases at a total pressure of 866 mm Hg contains argon at a partial pressure of 507 mm Hg. If the gas mixture contains 7.53 grams of argon, how many grams of carbon dioxide are present?
Carbon Dioxide in a 34 L container at a pressure of 387 mm Hg is transferred to a container with a pressure of 274 mm Hg. What is the new volume if the temperature changes from 211 K to 350 K?
Which of the following explains why the PO2 of the blood leaving pulmonary capillaries is 104 mm Hg, but the blood leaving the lungs to enter the left atrium is 95 mm Hg? Some oxygen diffuses out of the blood as it travels through the pulmonary veins. Some carbon dioxide in the alveoli is mixed with oxygenated blood from alveolar circulation. Some carbon dioxide in the alveoli is mixed with oxygenated blood from alveolar circulation. Some oxygen is incorporated into...
