In the human gas exchange system, a. the lungs and airways are completely collapsed after a forceful exhalation. b. the average $\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{O}_{2}}$ concentration of air inside the lungs is always lower than that in the air outside the lungs. c. the $\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{O}_{2}}$ of the blood leaving the lungs is greater than that of the exhaled air. d. the amount of air that is moved per breath during normal, at-rest breathing is termed the total lung capacity. e. $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ are actively transported across the alveolar and capillary membranes.
Estimate the fraction of the air in the Gamow bag that an occupant would inhale in 1 h, assuming no replacement of the air. (a) 0.01 $\quad$ (b) 0.1 $\quad$ (c) 0.3 $\quad$ (d) 0.5 $\quad$ (e) 1.0
