Answer:
The <u>PCO₂</u> -carbon dioxide partial pressure- in the alveoli is 40 mm Hg and that of the blood entering the pulmonary capillaries is <u>45 mmHg</u>. This causes <u>carbon dioxide</u> to diffuse down its partial pressure gradient from the blood into the alveoli.
Explanation:
Gas exchange is a physiological process that involves the entry of oxygen into the body and tissues and the exit of carbon dioxide, a product of metabolic reactions.
At the pulmonary level, gas exchange occurs between the alveoli and the alveolar capillary, and the diffusion of gases across the alveolar-capillary barrier is dependent on a pressure gradient due to the partial pressure of gases.
In the case of CO₂ the diffusion goes from where the partial pressure is higher to where it is lower, i.e. <u>from the alveolar capillary, where the PCO₂ is 45 mmHg, to the pulmonary alveolus, where the PCO₂ is 40 mmHg</u>.

The answer is B. Only the "Analysis" section includes specific data comparisons, and only the "Conclusion" section suggests further research.
True
Changes in the transcription of mRNA or the translation of a polypeptide are not considered to be mutations because they are not permanent changes to the cell.
Explanation:
The half-life of mRNA and proteins is short. mRNA has an average of 10 hours of life span while proteins have an average of several days. Therefore mutation in these biomolecules will only persist as long as this mutated mRNA of protein exists. After its life-span, the molecule is degraded and replaced by a non-mutated mRNA or proteins. This is because the piece of DNA that codes for the mRNA and subsequent protein is not mutated. A mutation on DNA is the permanent kind of mutations because DNA is a highly stable molecule that stores information about the cell.
