Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Gaseous exchange happens because of ____
A
Osmosis
B
Respiration
C
Diffusion
D
Semi-permeable membranes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The exchange of gases occurs as a result of diffusion down a concentration gradient. Gas molecules move from a region in which they are at high concentration to one in which they are at low concentration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gas exchange during respiration occurs primarily through diffusion. Diffusion is a process in which transport is driven by a concentration gradient. Gas molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gas exchange allows the body to replenish the oxygen and eliminate the carbon dioxide. Doing both is necessary for survival.

Detailed explanation-4: -“Diffusion is the process of movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.” Diffusion is a very important process for photosynthesis where carbon dioxide from the stomata diffuses into the leaves and finally into the cells.
