Question 7 • Biology - SC3209 IC

Which is the process by which gas exchange between the respiratory system and the blood cells in the cappilaries occurs?

Answer
A
transfusion
B
condensation
C
evaporation
D
diffusion

Explanation

Gas exchange occurs by diffusion: oxygen moves from the air in the lungs, where its concentration is higher, into the blood, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the lungs. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Therefore, the correct choice is diffusion.
