Question

blood in the pulmonary capillaries has a higher partial pressure of carbon dioxide than atmospheric air does. therefore, carbon dioxide diffuses out of the plasma into the lungs. true false need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Gas diffusion occurs from an area of higher partial pressure to an area of lower partial pressure. Blood in pulmonary capillaries has a higher partial pressure of carbon dioxide than alveolar air (not atmospheric air, but alveolar air which is part of the lung - related gas exchange environment). So carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood (plasma) into the alveoli (lungs).

Answer:

True
