Question

If the concentration of oxygen in a body tissue cell is 5% and the concentration of oxygen in the blood surrounding the cell is 10%, which direction will the oxygen diffuse?
Select one:
a. Oxygen will diffuse out of the body tissue cell and into the blood.
b. Oxygen only diffuses in video games, not in real life.
c. Oxygen will diffuse into the body tissue cell.
d. Oxygen will not diffuse. It is already at dynamic equilibrium.

Answer 1

Answer:

oxygen will diffuse into the body tissue cell

Explanation:

diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

since oxygen in the blood surrounding the cell is higher, oxygen will diffuse from the into the body tissue cell which is lower.
