3. Quantitative – diffusion rate: Humans rely on their lungs to supply oxygen to their bodies. Each lungis made up of over 300 million alveoli or air sacs that provide a total surface area of 75 m2 over whichoxygen can diffuse. However, the recent COVID pandemic has caused problems both during and afterinfection for oxygen delivery. a. During COVID, patients can get pneumonia, where the lungs can partially fill with fluid. Thiscauses coughing but also prevents that part of the lung from absorbing oxygen. If 35% of thealveoli were filled with fluid, how much of the lung area (in m2) would still be functioning? b. How would the oxygen diffusion rate for the pneumonia patient compare with that of a normalperson? Write out and solve for the diffusion rate ratio. c. Sometimes people with severe pneumonia are given an oxygen canula to augment their breathing.Normal oxygen concentrations in the lung are 100 mm Hg of O2 (this is the partial pressure whichis proportional to concentration as…
