The function of surfactant is to? A. transport the oxygen from the air to the blood, B. transport the carbon dioxide from the blood to the air, C. prevent each alveolus from collapsing as air moves in and out during respiration, D. trap foreign particles as they enter the bronchial tree
option c ; prevent each alveolus from collapsing as air moves in and out during respiration .
as te surfactant lowers the surface tension ,each alveoli has surfactant coated it reduces the surface tension , the force of attarction between the molecule ,this from prevents alveoli from collapsing and sticking shut as air moves in and out during respiration
The function of surfactant is to? A. transport the oxygen from the air to the blood,...
Tidal volume is _____ The amount of air remaining in the lung after expiration The volume of air that moves in (and out) of the lungs in a single breath The amount of air that remains in the airways after expiration The volume of air that the lungs can hold when maximally inflated Atmospheric pressure The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the blood is called ____ Pulmonary ventilation External respiration Internal respiration Cellular respiration expiration...

Some of the carbon dioxide comes from: a. fermentation b. the electron transport chain. c. glycolysis. d. pyruvate oxidation. e, all of the above. During glycolysis from glucose to pyruvate, which of the following acts as an oxidizing agent? a. NAD b. pyruvate c. an electron d. a hydrogen atom e. oxygen Within an animal cell, isecitrate dehydrogenase, an enzyme of the...
QUESTION 19 During internal respiration, the oxygen diffuses from the blood vessels into the tissues because the concentration of oxygen is higher in the blood than the tissues of the body the concentration of oxygen is lower in the blood than the tissues of the body the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher in the blood than the tissues of the body the concentration of carbon dioxide is lower in the blood than the tissues of the body
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

VENTILATION is defined as A. exchange of gases between the external environment and the tissues B. movement of air in and out of the respiratory sustem c. transport of oxygen...
27) Which one of the following best describes the electron transport chain? A) Electrons are passed from one carrier to another releasing a little energy at each B) Hydrogen atoms are added to CO2 to make an energy-rich compound. C) Electrons are pumped across a membrane by active transport. D) Glucose is broken down to a three-carbon compound 28) After completion of the citric acid cycle, most of the usable energy from the one molecule is in the form of...

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...
