Answer:

Please read the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

The partial force of oxygen is high in the alveoli and low in the blood of the pulmonary capillaries.

For this reason, oxygen will diffuse over the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the blood.

And carbon dioxide will diffuse over the respiratory membrane from the blood into the alveoli.
