Vedclass · Answer

(B) The exchange of gases like $O_2$ and $CO_2$ between the tissues and the blood occurs primarily through the process of simple diffusion.Diffusion is driven by a partial pressure gradient.In metabolically active tissues,cellular respiration produces $CO_2$ as a byproduct,leading to a higher partial pressure of $CO_2$ $(pCO_2)$ in the tissues compared to the blood.Conversely,the blood arriving at the tissues has a lower $pCO_2$.Due to this concentration gradient,$CO_2$ moves from the area of higher partial pressure (tissues) to the area of lower partial pressure (blood) until equilibrium is reached.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$A$. Alveoli	$i$. $0.3 \ mmHg \ PCO_2$
$B$. Deoxygenated blood	$ii$. $45 \ mmHg \ PCO_2$
$C$. Atmospheric air	$iii$. $104 \ mmHg \ PO_2$
$D$. Tissue	$iv$. $40 \ mmHg \ PO_2$

Constant flow of $CO_2$ from the tissues into the blood is due to
