Neco Model Questions Vol1 2022 Biology Question 2
Practice objective / multiple choice question 2 from the 2022 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
Refer to the labelled diagram of the human respiratory system. The alveolar wall thickness is \(0.5\ \mu\text{m}\), the capillary wall thickness is \(0.3\ \mu\text{m}\) and the interstitial space between them is \(0.2\ \mu\text{m}\). The effective diffusion area for oxygen is \(70\ \text{m}^{2}\). Using Fick's law, compare the rate of oxygen diffusion when the partial pressure difference between alveolar air and capillary blood is \(100\ \text{mmHg}\) versus when it is \(80\ \text{mmHg}\). Express the ratio of the two rates.
