Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

There are two sites where exchange of gases takes place, one is the exchange of gases between alveoli and blood and the second is exchange of gases between blood and tissue. In this question we are discussing about the about the diffusion of CO2 from blood to the alveoli for exhalation. CO2 must cross the diffusion membrane.

Diffusion membrane:  The alveolar wall is thin and has rich network of capillaries. Due to this network, alveolar wall looks like a sheet of flowing blood and is called the diffusion membrane or alveolar-capillary membrane.This diffusion membrane is made up of three layers:

a. The thin squamous epithelium of alveoli

b. Endothelial lining of blood capillaries

c. a fused basement membrane between epithelium of alveoli and endothelium of capillaries.

All these three layers make the total thickness of about 0.2 mm.

Just trust me.  

it's not A because there's no such thing as favorable traits whenever it comes to incesticide and for B the majority of Beatles and future generations will also die that's only to the ones that died but that can not happen, which means that D is the one that will be the correct answer because if one lives, then the rest of the generations live due to immunity in the generation that started it.

Attached is the image respective of the question. 

First, both the extracellular fluid and the cytoplasm are hydrophilic. The phosphate head of the phospholipid is hydrophilic hence it either faces the extracellular fluid and the cytoplasm. The lipid tail of the phospholipid is hydrophobic hence it is confined in the middle of the plasma membrane. Both cytoplasmic and the extracellular fluid ends of the transmembrane protein are hydrophilic and the middle part of the transmembrane protein is hydrophobic.
