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.

The answer is 8.33333333 I believe
By definition of supplementary angles,
∠ABD + ∠BDE = 180
5x + 17x - 18 = 180
22x = 198
x = 9
∠ABD = 5(9) = 45°
∠BDE = 180 - 45 = 135°
Answer:
14.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 18 miles by 5 hours to tell us how many miles she can do in 1 hour.
Multiply the answer by 4 to tell us how many miles in 4 hours.
(18/5) * 4 = 14.4 Miles
