because the carbon dioxide is not able to presuer and overpower the oxygen as so it is not able to do so

∙ 9y agoThe damage reduces the amount of surface area in the sac which reduces the amount of air that can be exchanged. This is why the amount of gas/air exchange is smaller.

∙ 9y agoThe alveolar sacs must adhere closely in order for gas exchange to occur. In emphysema the air sacs are dilated causing less carbon dioxide to escape.

The amount of air exchanged during normal quiet breathing is about?
about half litre air
Which substances are exchanged between the blood in the capillaries and the air in the alveoli?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water are the substances exchanged between the alveoli (air sacs) and the capillaries in the lungs.
What determines the amount of water that can be held in the air?
The temperature determines the amount of water vapor that can be held in the air. The warmer the air, the greater the amount of water that the air can hold.
What part of the lower respiratory tract is made up of tiny air sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?
Alveoli
What happens as you go up a mountain?
Increasing elevation leads to a lower amount of air, mass, weight and pressure. It can also lead to a decreasing temperature.
Why does damage to alveoli result less gaseous exchanges?
Damaged air sacs have a lower amount of air surface. This reduces the amount of gas exchanged because the larger the surface the larger the amount.
The amount of air exchanged during normal quiet breathing is about?
about half litre air
How can driving less decrease the amount of gas in the air?
cars make pollution, so by driving less decreases the amount of pollution(gas in the air).
How driving less can decrease the amount of the gas in the air?
cars make pollution, so by driving less decreases the amount of pollution(gas in the air).
Does panting or shallow breathing ensure complete respiratory exchange?
No .the air which comes in and the air which is exhaled are constant and ia called tidal quantity.this refers to the amount of air completely exchanged ,whereas some amount of air is always present in the lungs which help in preventing the lungs from collapsing and no matter how much you force it doesnt come out .its volume is refered to as residual volume.this volume gets exchanged but is alwys present in the lung.
What are the gases exchanged in the air sac's?
your m0m and your dad are the 2 gases that are exchanged in the sacs of air, thank me later so by by
Does an economical car reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air?
No car can actually reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, but an economical car will add less additional carbon dioxide to the air than a less economical one.
What is oxygen exchanged with at the air sacs?
Carbon di-oxide
Which substances are exchanged between the blood in the capillaries and the air in the alveoli?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water are the substances exchanged between the alveoli (air sacs) and the capillaries in the lungs.
What 2 gases are exchanged in the air sacs?
your m0m and your dad are the 2 gases that are exchanged in the sacs of air, thank me later so by by
What is a lean air fuel mixture?
It's when there's a little less fuel for the amount of air than the ideal condition.
Air weighs less than water would you expect the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?
water is more dense than air and it has at
