If the concentration of oxygen in a body tissue cell is 5% and the concentration of oxygen in the blood surrounding the
cell is 10%, which direction will the oxygen diffuse?
Select one:
a. Oxygen will not diffuse. It is already at dynamic equilibrfum e
b. Oxygen will diffuse out of the body tissue cell and into the blood.
c. Oxygen only diffuses in video games, not in real life.
d. Oxygen will diffuse into the body tissue cell.

If the concentration of oxygen in a body tissue cell is 5% and the concentration of oxygen in the blood surrounding cell is 10%, the direction that the oxygen will diffuse would be into the body tissue cell.

Gas, and other molecules of matter always diffuse spontaneously from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

In this case, the body tissue cell has lower concentration of oxygen while the blood surrounding cell has a higher concentration of the gas. Thus, all other things being equal, oxygen would diffuse from the surrounding cell to the body tissue cell.

I believe the correct answer is d. Oxygen will diffuse into the body tissue cell.

Explanation:

I know that it does this with other things (example. water and salt) but im not completely sure about this.

dna is made up of six smaller molecules -- a five carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate molecule and four different nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine).
