Increasing ventilation will increase the PO2 and decrease the PCO2, which promotes gas exchange.
Ventilation
The process of moving air in and out of the lungs, facilitating gas exchange with the internal environment.
Gas Exchange
The biological process through which gases (e.g., oxygen, carbon dioxide) are transferred between the blood and the external environment in the lungs.

Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
Increasing ventilation enhances the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) and decreases the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) in the alveoli, which promotes more efficient gas exchange by increasing the gradient for oxygen to enter the blood and carbon dioxide to be expelled.
