cellular respiration

7.

choose all correct statements about external respiration!

a)

the process involving role of alveoli

b)

O2 concentration in alveoli is higher than in RBC so O2 move to RBC

c)

CO2 concentration in RBC is higher than in alveoli so CO2 move to alveoli

the gas exchange happen by active transport

d)

from alveoli, RBC rich with O2 are sent to heart, and received by left atrium
