The following questions will help you review concepts presented in this module.
- Where does carbon dioxide-rich blood from the capillaries in the gut go?
- lungs → right side of the heart → left side of the heart
- right side of the heart → the lungs → left side of the heart
- left side of the heart → the lungs → right side of the heart
- lungs → left side of the heart → right side of the heart
- Ethanol is more volatile than water because it has:
- fewer hydrogen bonds
- more hydrogen bonds
- carbon atoms
- nitrogen atoms
- Which of the following statements describes ethanol equilibrium between the blood and the alveoli?
- The amount of ethanol is the same in the blood relative to the alveoli.

- Ethanol stops moving between the blood and the alveoli.
- There is no net flow of ethanol between the blood and the alveoli.
- No energy is required for the passive diffusion of ethanol out of the gut and into the bloodstream. If energy is not required, then what drives the diffusion process?
- ethanol’s small molecular size
- proton pumps
- the higher concentration of ethanol in the bloodstream relative to the gut
- the higher concentration of ethanol in the gut relative to the bloodstream
