What of the following describes the functions of lungs?
Lungs Move Oxygen From The Air Into The Blood.
What are some molecules that move by diffusion and osmosis?
Gas molecules move by diffusion, and water molecules move by osmosis. Edit: Osmosis refers only to water molecules (H2O) while diffusion refers to all over molecules.
Can oxygen and carbon dioxide move across the cell membrane by osmosis?
Osmosis refers to the movement of water. Gases such as oxygen and CO2 move across the membrane by simple diffusion.
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
During osmosis which direction does the water move into the cell out of the cell or does it move in and put equally?
During osmosis water moves in and out of the cell equally in both directions.
How do oxygen carbon dioxide and water move in the lungs?
using diffusion and osmosis.
How do carbon dioxide water and oxygen move in lungs?
using diffusion and osmosis.
How does oxygen move from the lungs inti the bloodstream?
Boom clap the sound of my heart
The job of alveoli?
The tiny sacs within the lungs which allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between the lungs and the bloodstream is called alveoli. It is needed by the body to supply oxygen.
What is the function of the aveoli?
The function of the alveoli is to allow gas exchange with the blood and lungs. It takes in the carbon dioxide and then diffuses it.
How do alveoli work?
The alveoli are located in the lungs. They are used to move carbon dioxide and oxygen between the lungs and the bloodstream.
What process does food move from the small intestines to the bloodstream so it can be circulated the rest of the body?
osmosis
Does oxygen move from the alveoli into the bloodstream?
i dont noww , alveoli is stupid
What organ does the oxygen move into?
You think to lungs.
What of the following describes the functions of lungs?
Lungs Move Oxygen From The Air Into The Blood.
Why do lungs have a surface area of about 60 metres squared and a good supply of blood?
The large surface area and blood supply allow the largest opportunity for diffusion. Both of these factors make it easier for oxygen to move into the bloodstream and CO2 to move out.
What causes oxygen to move into and out of the body?
The Respiratory system. We breathe oxygen containing air into our lungs. Our hearts send 'old' blood to the lungs where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added, and that oxygen enriched blood is carried around the body until it lands up in the lungs again. So is it really a joint effort by the circulatory system and the respiratory system.
