These questions consist of two statements each, printed as Statement-I and Statement-II. While answering these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.
Statement-I: 
diffuses from tissue to alveoli and not in reverse direction.
Statement-II: 
is 10 times more soluble than 
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
(c) As the solubility of 
is 20-25 times higher than that of 
, the amount of 
that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher compared to that of 
. The solubility and the thickness of the diffusion surface are the factors that are favourable for diffusion of 
from alveoli to tissues and that of 
from tissues to alveoli.
