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.

Answer:

125,000 * 1.0625^t years

Step-by-step explanation:

compound interest = increase in amount

100 + 6.25 = 106.25

106.25/100 = 1.0625

therefore, 125,000 * 1.0625^years

Evaluate the piecewise function at the indicated values from the domain:
lidiya [134]

In this question, we given a piece-wise function, that has different definitions depending on the domain.

Evaluate the function at x = 0.

The exercise asks for us to evaluate the function at x = 0

We have to look at the definition, and see which definition includes x = 0. The equal sign at x = 0 is on the second definition, that is:

f(x) = 1, 0 \leq x < 2

Thus, at x = 0, the value of the function is 1, and the correct answer is given by option A.
