Sati [7]3 years ago
4 0
Alveolar walls are thin to enable the quick passage of oxygen in and out of the lungs. The lungs works hand-in-hand with the heart and also is responsible in converting blood that's de-oxygenated into an oxygenated blood that is usable by the organ systems of the body. The alveolar walls are also designed to have thin membranes so that it can expand and constrict quickly allowing us to breather properly.

Is the following statement true or false? Explain your
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Cell membrane is made of the lipids and proteins with the attached moieties of carbohydrates. The plasma membrane is the selectively permeable membrane that allows the diffusion of some selected particles only.

The transport along the cell membrane depends on the size and the hydrophobicity of the molecule. The size of oxygen is although higher than magnesium but to its highly hydrophobic nature it can easily pass through the plasma membrane as compared with the magnesium. The oxygen diffuses out faster than magnesium.

Thus, the answer is false.
