The factor which does not affect the rate of alveolar diffusion is

Question

The factor which does not affect the rate of alveolar diffusion is (A) solubility of gases (B) thickness of the membranes (C) pressure gradient (D) reactivity of the gases

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

O2 and CO2 are exchanged in the alveoli by simple diffusion. The factors that affect the diffusion are pressure gradient of the gases, solubility of the gases and the thickness of the membranes involved in diffusion.

Q. The factor which does not affect the rate of alveolar diffusion is

solubility of gases

thickness of the membranes

pressure gradient

reactivity of the gases

concentration gradient

$O_{2}$ and $C O_{2}$ are exchanged in the alveoli by simple diffusion. The factors that affect the diffusion are pressure gradient of the gases, solubility of the gases and the thickness of the membranes involved in diffusion.
