Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The partial pressure of the dissolved gas is the product of its coefficient of solubility and the par-tial pressure of the gas to which the liquid is exposed. Oxygen and carbon dioxide transport can change significantly with changes in body temperature or the pressure to which the body is ex-posed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The most important physiologic characteristic of solutions is their ability to exert pressure.
