The steepness of the concentration gradient across the respiratory membrane affects gas exchange, with a steeper gradient ____.
A) decreasing the rate of gas exchange
B) increasing the rate of gas exchange
C) decreasing the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood
D) increasing the levels of hemoglobin-bound oxygen
E) increasing the number of red blood cells
Concentration Gradient
The gradual difference in the concentration of solutes in a solution between two regions, often resulting in diffusion.
Gas Exchange
Gas exchange is the biological process through which organisms exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with their surroundings, critical for respiration.
- Outline the chemical procedures central to gas exchange, incorporating the importance of enzymes and the understanding of concentration gradient.
- Familiarize oneself with the mechanism of gas diffusion across the respiratory membrane and the contributing factors.
