1.

The respiratory system provides __________ to body tissues and removes waste products.

Water

2.

The chamber of the chest is known as the...

Lungs

b)

Thoracic cavity

c)

Diaphragm

d)

Pharynx

3.

Explain the process of gas exchange at the alveoli.

a)

Concentration of oxygen in the alveoli is high. Concentration of oxygen in the blood is low. This creates a steeper diffusion gradient/ oxygen diffuses quicker. Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the blood.

b)

Concentration of oxygen in the alveoli is low. Concentration of oxygen in the blood is high. This creates a steeper diffusion gradient/ oxygen diffuses quicker. Oxygen moves from the blood into the alveoli.

c)

Concentration of oxygen in the alveoli is the same as the concentration of oxygen in the blood. This removes the diffusion gradient. Oxygen does not move anywhere.
