The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding how much gas is delivered by every 100 mL of deoxygenated blood, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Composition of Deoxygenated Blood**: - Deoxygenated blood is characterized by a higher concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) and a lower concentration of oxygen (O2). This blood returns from the tissues to the lungs for gas exchange. 2. **Identify the Relevant Options**: - The options provided are: - 5 mL of O2 to the tissues - 5 mL of CO2 to the tissues - 4 mL of CO2 to the alveoli - 4 mL of O2 to the alveoli - Since we are dealing with deoxygenated blood, we can eliminate options that suggest delivery of oxygen (O2) to the tissues or alveoli. 3. **Eliminate Irrelevant Options**: - The first option (5 mL of O2 to the tissues) can be eliminated because deoxygenated blood does not deliver oxygen. - The second option (5 mL of CO2 to the tissues) can also be eliminated because deoxygenated blood is returning from the tissues, not delivering CO2 to them. 4. **Focus on Relevant Options**: - We are left with: - 4 mL of CO2 to the alveoli - 4 mL of O2 to the alveoli - Since deoxygenated blood is returning to the lungs to release CO2 and pick up O2, the relevant option is the one that states CO2 is delivered to the alveoli. 5. **Determine the Correct Answer**: - Every 100 mL of deoxygenated blood delivers approximately **4 mL of CO2 to the alveoli**. This is the correct answer based on the understanding of the gas exchange process. ### Final Answer: - Every 100 mL of deoxygenated blood delivers approximately **4 mL of CO2 to the alveoli**. ---
