### Step-by-Step Solution for the Transport of O₂ and CO₂ Between Alveoli and Tissue #### Step 1: Understanding Alveoli - Alveoli are tiny air sacs located in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. They are surrounded by a network of capillaries. - The primary function of alveoli is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) between the air and the blood. **Hint:** Remember that alveoli are the sites of gas exchange in the lungs. ...
