Question 8 • 24 - 25 CR - Biology B (0411KB)

At the site of gas exchange in the lungs, where does the oxygen move?

Answer
A
O2 moves from the alveoli to the white blood cells.
B
O2 moves from the white blood cells to the alveoli.
C
O2 moves from the alveoli to the red blood cells.
D
O2 moves from the red blood cells to the alveoli.

Explanation

At the lungs, oxygen diffuses from the air in the alveoli into the blood, moving down its concentration gradient. Red blood cells take up this oxygen, so the correct choice is “O2 moves from the alveoli to the red blood cells.”
