MCQ
Why is a steep pressure gradient necessary for efficient gas exchange?
  • A. It promotes faster diffusion
  • B. It helps blood coagulation
  • C. It ensures active transport
  • D. It increases lung volume
✅ Correct Answer: A
Greater gradient → faster movement of gas across membranes.
MCQ

  • A. Its thick layers
  • B. High surface tension
  • C. Its large surface area and thinness
  • D. Active transport system
✅ Correct Answer: C
The thin barrier and vast surface area support effective diffusion.
MCQ
COâ‚‚ diffuses out of the blood into alveoli because:
  • A. COâ‚‚ pressure is higher in alveoli
  • B. COâ‚‚ is actively transported
  • C. COâ‚‚ is insoluble
  • D. Blood has higher COâ‚‚ concentration
✅ Correct Answer: D
COâ‚‚ moves from capillary blood (45 mm Hg) to alveoli (40 mm Hg) due to the gradient.
