Answer:
The rate of oxygen exchange in the lungs decreases, outstandingly while diving from Boston (near sea level) to summit of Mt. Washington
Explanation:
At near sea level, Boston, where there is sufficient dense air and plentiful supply of oxygen, the rate of breathing and oxygen exchange in the lungs is at normal levels
At the height of 6,288.2 feet, which is the height of the summit of Mt Washington, the lung does more work to extract the oxygen from the air present which is less dense and contains less oxygen than the air at sea level such that a larger volume of air is required to supply the amount of oxygen the body requires
Therefore, the rate of oxygen exchange in the lungs decreases, outstandingly while diving from Boston (near sea level) to summit of Mt. Washington.
