The efficiency of a respiratory system is enhanced by all the following except:
| 1. | increasing the surface area available for diffusion of gases |
| 2. | decreasing the distance over which the gases must diffuse |
| 3. | increasing the concentration differences of gases inside and outside the system |
| 4. | drying the system out so the gases do not have to diffuse through water |
Exchange of gases occurs across the respiratory membrane. Which of the following would increase the rate of diffusion of a gas across the respiratory membrane?
| 1. | respiratory membrane becomes thicker. |
| 2. | surface area of the respiratory membrane decreases. |
| 3. | partial pressure difference of the gas across the respiratory membrane increases. |
| 4. | diffusion coefficient of the gas decreases. |
