Why is `CO_(2)` gas transferred from alevoli to atmospheric air ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Gas Exchange**: The transfer of gases in the lungs occurs through a process called diffusion, which is driven by differences in partial pressures of the gases involved. 2. **Partial Pressure Concept**: Each gas in a mixture exerts its own pressure, known as partial pressure. The movement of gases occurs from areas of higher partial pressure to areas of lower partial pressure. 3. **Partial Pressure of CO₂ in Alveoli**: In the alveoli, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is approximately 40 mm Hg. ...
