MCQ
The solubility of $CO _{2}$ in the blood is
  • A
    $10-15$ times higher than that of $O_{2}$
  • $20-25$ times higher than that of $O _{2}$
  • C
    Slightly higher than that of $O_{2}$
  • D
    Slightly lower than that of $O_{2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$20-25$ times higher than that of $O _{2}$
b
The solubility of $CO _{2}$ is $20-25$ times higher than that of $O _{2}$. The amount of $CO _{2}$ that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher as compared to that of $O_{2}$
