A person's alveolar membranes have become thickened enough to moderately decrease the rate at which gases diffuse across them at any given partial pressure differences. Will this person necessarily have a low areterial P02 at rest? During exercise? Briefly explain please

I think yes, it would lower PO2 at rest (and exercise too). This case would be similar to pulmonary interstitial edema. This persons develop tachypnea which is consequence of low PO2, and little elevated PCO2. All of this is because of decreased diffusion through alveolar membrane.....I think...
(imagine) If this change happened during evolution, there's no way to tell how high would PO2 be. It could be even higher due to other evolution changes, which could provide us more effective way of utilizing O2.
