Answer:
The <u>PCO₂</u> -carbon dioxide partial pressure- in the alveoli is 40 mm Hg and that of the blood entering the pulmonary capillaries is <u>45 mmHg</u>. This causes <u>carbon dioxide</u> to diffuse down its partial pressure gradient from the blood into the alveoli.
Explanation:
Gas exchange is a physiological process that involves the entry of oxygen into the body and tissues and the exit of carbon dioxide, a product of metabolic reactions.
At the pulmonary level, gas exchange occurs between the alveoli and the alveolar capillary, and the diffusion of gases across the alveolar-capillary barrier is dependent on a pressure gradient due to the partial pressure of gases.
In the case of CO₂ the diffusion goes from where the partial pressure is higher to where it is lower, i.e. <u>from the alveolar capillary, where the PCO₂ is 45 mmHg, to the pulmonary alveolus, where the PCO₂ is 40 mmHg</u>.

Answer:
(VEE-nuh KAY-vuh) A large vein that carries blood to the heart from other areas of the body. The vena cava has two parts: the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The superior vena cava carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest.
The answer is D because the particles in a liquid have more kinetic energy than the particles in the corresponding solid.
<span>Rice pudding would be an example of a heterogeneous mixture.
A heterogeneous mixture means that different constituents of a mixture can be identified. Rice pudding consists of rice suspended in a cream. It is possible to identify the grains of rice and the creamy part of the mixture.
A homogeneous mixture looks the same throughout--you cannot identify individual parts or ingredients. The parts of a homogeneous mixture are said to be uniformly distributed. Rainwater and air are examples of homogeneous mixtures.</span>
