Biology
1 answer:
mihalych1998 [28]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

When iron gets in contact with oxygen (or water, which also contains oxygen) it starts giving electrons to the oxygen atoms, in a process called oxidisation, and when that occurs, iron oxide (Fe_2 O_3) is made.

Note: iron oxide is what we call rust. And, iron is so easy to rust because it usually isn't mixed with any other protective metals or covered in protective films.

Hope it helped,

Oxygen and CO2 are exchanged between capillaries and alveolus. Do capillaries contain deoxygenated blood while alveolous contain
dalvyx [7]
The aveolus is surrounded by capillaries. So capillaries carry deoxygenated blood to the alveolus where the oxygen from the alveolus diffuses into the blood in the capillaries. The deoxygenated blood is now oxygenated and is carried out of the lung via capillaries that then merge into the pulmonary vein.

In other words, alveolus does not have oxygenated blood it just puts oxygen into the deoxygenated blood hat this brought in.
