Elements such as The lungs exchange gas to maintain homeostasis. In the alveoli of the lungs, oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. This exchange occurs between the lungs and blood vessels (capillaries). The transport of oxygen to the blood does not require energy. The membranes of the alveoli are thin and moist and allow gasses to dissolve and be transported to and from the blood. When we breathe, a high concentration of oxygen enters the lungs and moves to the blood. Based on this scenario, is the transport of oxygen a result of osmosis, diffusion, or active transport?

Answer:

oxygen are among the few simple molecules that can cross the cell membrane by diffusion. And Diffusion is one principle method of movement of substances within cells, as well as the method for essential small molecules to cross the cell membrane. The oxygen molecules move, by diffusion, out of the capillaries and into the body cells. While oxygen moves from the capillaries and into body cells, carbon dioxide moves from the cells into the capillaries.
