II The small capillaries in the lungs are in close contact with the alveoli. A red blood cell takes up oxygen during the 0.5s th

at it squeezes through a capillary at the surface of an alveolus. What is the diffusion time for oxygen across the 1-um thick membrane separating air from blood? Assume that the diffusion coefficient for oxygen in tissue is .2x10^-11m^2/s Give your answer to 1 significant figure.

The diffusion time of the red blood cell to take oxygen through the membrane is 25uS.

The small capillaries in the lungs are in close contact and it takes a red blood cell 0.5 seconds to squeeze through the capillary.

The diffusion time for the oxygen across the 1 um thick membrane separating the air is given by,

t = x²/2D

Where,

t is the diffusion time,

x is the thickness of the membrane,

D is the diffusion coefficient.

Putting values,

t = (1 x 10⁻⁹)²/2 x 2 x 10⁻¹¹

t = 10⁻⁷/4

t = 25 x 10⁻⁹ seconds.

t = 25 uS.

so, the diffusion time is 25uS.

2) Which two statements are not true?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

A repeating decimal is not a rational number and The product of two irrational numbers is always rational

Step-by-step explanation:

One statement that is not true is "The product of two irrational numbers is always rational". Take for example the irrational numbers √2 and √3. Their product is √6 which is also irrational.

The other false statement is "A repeating decimal is not a rational number". Take for example the repeating decimal 0.33333..... It can be written as 1/3 which is a rational number.

The sum of negative eighteen and a number is eleven. what is the number? which equation could be used to solve the problem? x -
Zepler [3.9K]
Sum means addition 
negative 18 means -18
a number can be x
Sum of negative 18 and x should be 11
thus the equation is
-18+x=11

fomenos
Answer: 45

Use PEMDAS

first do what in the parentheses
