CO2C{O_2} diffuses into …A… and forms HCO3−\mathrm{HCO}_3^ - and H+{H^ + }. At the …B… site where PCO2PC{O_2} is low, the reaction proceeds in the opposite direction.
Thus, CO2C{O_2} is trapped as …C… at the tissue level and transported to alveoli is released out as …D…
Select the right choice for A, B, C and D to complete the given NCERT statement
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
A-RBC, B-alveolar, C-bicarbonate, D-CO2C{O_2}
The correct answer is B (A-RBC, B-alveolar, C-bicarbonate, D-CO2C{O_2}) because carbon dioxide diffuses into red blood cells (RBCs) and forms bicarbonate ions. At the alveolar site, where PCO2PC{O_2} is low, the reaction proceeds in the opposite direction, and carbon dioxide is released.

without change in the volume of
thoracic cavity
Reason: Our lungs are inelastic
View answer and explanation

View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option B (If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because both the assertion and the reason are factually correct statements about lung volumes, but the reason does not explain the assertion.

V. Only oxygen is transported by the blood
VI. Only CO2C{O_2} is transported by the blood
Choose the correct option

I. Intra pulmonary pressure remains less than the atmospheric pressure
II. There is negative pressure in the lungs than the atmospheric pressure
In which of the above two situations inspiration takes place?
Choose the correct option accordingly?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Both I and II
Option C (Both I and II) is correct because inspiration occurs when the intrapulmonary pressure is less than atmospheric pressure, which is the same as saying there is negative pressure in the lungs compared to the atmosphere.

Assertion: pO2{pO}_2 in exhaled air is greater than pO2{pO}_2 in alveolar air.

Reason: pO2pO_2 in blood of pulmonary artery is equal to pCO2{pCO}_2 in blood of pulmonary veins.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Option B (Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because the pO2pO_2 in exhaled air is indeed greater than in alveolar air due to mixing with dead space air, and the statement about pulmonary artery and vein pressures is incorrect.
