Answer #1

Q19. a. the concentration of oxygen is higher in the blood than tissues of the body.

Gas exchange between blood and tissue depends on the partial pressure gradients of Oxygen and carbon dioxide. The partial pressure gradient of oxygen is 60 mmHg which is much higher than the partial pressure gradient of carbon dioxide (5 mmHg). So higher oxygen concentration in blood plays as driving force for oxygen diffusion from blood to tissues.
