Answer:

True

Explanation:

Diffusion is a passive process (no energy required) in which the substance such as liquid and gases moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

During respiration, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli and oxygen diffuses from alveoli to blood across the respiratory membrane. The partial pressure of oxygen is low in the blood of the pulmonary capillaries and high in the alveoli. so diffusion allow movement of oxygen across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the blood.

Hence, the given statement is true.

In your own words, explain how a glass-enclosed greenhouse is a good analogy for explaining the greenhouse effect in Earth’s atm
Naddik [55]
Simply put, the glass in the analogy traps the sun’s heat inside the greenhouse, warming the interior and not letting the heat escape, just like greenhouse gases (CO2, methane, etc) trap the sun’s heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet and preventing heat from escaping back into space.
