Solution. 1  This species has a 2â charge on it, so it is an anion. Anions are named using the stem of the element name with the suffix -ide added. 2  Because this species has no charge, it is an atom in its elemental form. This is cobalt. 3  In this case, there is a 2+ charge on the atom, so it is a cation.
1. 2. 3. The walls of the alveoli are composed of a single layer of flattened epithelial cells, as are the walls of the capillaries, so gases need to diffuse through just two thin cells. The alveoli walls are kept moist by water diffusing from the surrounding cells.he walls of the alveoli are composed of a single layer of flattened epithelial cells, as are the walls of the capillaries, so gases need to diffuse through just two thin cells.

A process that requires no energy input is passive. One passive process used by materials crossing a cell membrane is diffusion. Examples: oxygen diffuses through the phos â¦ pholipid bilayer into a cell that is respiring aerobically.carbon dioxide diffuses out of cells through the phospholipid bilayer. Facilitated diffusion (diffusion through transport proteins: channel and carrier proteins) is a form of diffusion, and so it is also passive.
