Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Membrane thickness-the thinner the membrane, the faster the rate of diffusion.
Detailed explanation-2: -An individual air sac is called an alveolus. The layer of moisture in the alveoli allows gases to dissolve so that they can diffuse quickly. The alveoli have a very large total surface area and a very good blood supply, provided by the dense network of capillaries that surround them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. The rate of diffusion of oxygen in blood plasma is increased by adding certain compounds to plasma at very low concentration levels.
