Which of the following gradients allow oxygen to leave the blood and enter body tissues and carbon dioxide to leave body tissues and enter the blood?

A. High concentration of oxygen in the blood; high concentration of carbon dioxide in the body tissues
B. Low concentration of oxygen in the blood; high concentration of carbon dioxide in the body tissues
C. High concentration of oxygen in the blood; low concentration of carbon dioxide in the body tissues
D. Low concentration of oxygen in the blood; low concentration of carbon dioxide in the body tissues

Answer 1

According to my mind and my biology test, it is B) Low concentration of oxygen IN THE BLOOD; high concentration co2 in the tissue

Answer 2

A. High concentration of oxygen in the blood; high concentration of carbon dioxide in the body tissues

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffusion occurs from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion occurs against a concentration gradient.

High concentration of oxygen in the blood causes oxygen to leave the blood and enter body tissues. High concentration of carbon dioxide in the body tissues causes carbon dioxide to leave body tissues and enter the blood.
