(i) Diffusion of gases, $ O_2 $ and $ CO_2 $ across the alveolar membrane.

(ii) Transport of gases by the blood.

(iii) Utilisation of $ O_2 $ by the cells for catabolic reactions and the resultant releases of $ CO_2 $ .

(iv) Pulmonary ventilation by which atmospheric air is drawn in and $ CO_2 $ rich alveolar air is released out.

(v) Diffusion of $ O_2 $ and $ CO_2 $ between the blood and tissue.

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Major steps involving respiration are Step 1: Utilisation of $ O_2 $ by cell of catabolic reactions.

Step 2: Diffusion of $ O_2 $ and $ CO_2 $ between blood and tissues.

Step 3: Transportation by blood.

Step 4: Diffusion of gases ( $ O_2 $ and $ CO_2 $ ) through alveolar membrane.

Step 5: $ CO_2 $ goes out and atmospheric air is drawn in.
