A reseаrcher is studying оxygen diffusiоn аcrоss the thin respirаtory epithelium of a frog’s lung. She experimentally reduces the surface area of the lung while keeping the diffusion distance, temperature, molecular weight of oxygen, and concentration gradient constant. According to Fick’s law of diffusion, what would be the expected physiological consequence, and why?
