A

CO₂ is the waste product of respiration of cells. Oxygen, on the other hand, is required in cellular respiration. Therefore at the alveolar in the lungs of an organism, CO₂ will be expelled while O₂ will be taken in.

Explanation:

This occurs passively due to the diffusion gradient, CO₂ usually has a higher concentration in the blood and lower concentration in alveoli hence this gas diffuses from the bloodstream into the lungs. On the other hand, oxygen is higher in concentration in the alveoli than in the blood capillaries hence difuses into the blood and taken to the cell for respiration. The CO₂ in the lungs is then expelled through exhalation of the lungs.

Answer:

C is Snotase, because it works best in neutral environments (hence the pH of 7)

A is Flotase because it works best in acidic environments (low pH)

B is Zoomase because it works in acidic environments (low pH)

D is Floxase because it works in basic environments (pH above 7)

Note:

For pH, 7 is considered neutral.  Anything below that is acidic and anything above that is basic.

Alveolar type ________ (VIII) cells are responsible for producing surfactant
lord [1]

Answer:

Type II cells

Explanation:

Type II alveolar cells are the round-shaped or cuboidal epithelial cells. These cells have a free surface with microvilli. The function of the type II alveolar cells is to secrete the alveolar fluid to keep the surface of the cells moist.

A mixture of phospholipids and lipoproteins is present in the alveolar fluid that serves as surfactant and reduces the surface tension of the alveolar fluid. The overall effect of the presence of surfactant in alveolar fluid is to protect the alveoli against collapsing during exhalation.
