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.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points in slope intercept form
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

y=3x

Step-by-step explanation:

To put this in slope intercept form, let’s first find the slope

To find slope, use the equation Y2-Y1/X2-X1

When we do this, we get 0-6/0-2

This simplifies out into -6/-2 which is 3

So our slope is 3. Our equation becomes y=3x+b

Now, we find our b

We don’t have to do any solving for this, since we have the point 0,0 listed for us, it goes through the origin and that is our y-intercept or b

So our final equation is y=3x

Hope this helps and have a good day!
