Estimate the time required for oxygen to diffuse from our nose to our lungs. Assume the diffusion constant of oxygen in air is 2×10^(-5) m^2 s^(-1) and the distance from the nose to the lungs in a human is about 20 cm. a. 0.1 min. b. 17 min. c. 21 min. d. 0.01 min.
Platelet cells in blood play an essential role in the formation of clots and exist in normal human blood at the level of about 2.00 × 105 per cubic millimeter. In order to illustrate that diffusion alone is not responsible for transporting platelets, consider the following situation. The diffusion constant for platelets in blood is approximately 5.00 × 10−10 m2/s. About how long would it take a platelet to diffuse from the center of an artery (diameter 7.90 mm) to a clot forming on one wall of the artery?
