How does your body adopt surface area to volume ratio to help exchange gases-?
The skin surface is not large enough for big creatures such as humans; therefore we have structures in our lungs that greatly increase the surface area.
How does your body adopt surface area to volume ratio to help exchange gases?
The respiration system adopts to the surface area to volume ratio to help the exchange of gases.
Why do leaves have a large surface area?
Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)
How does surface area to volume ration influence cell size?
Surface size directly affects the possibility for gas exchange. Volume affects how much the cell can contain. If a cell has a large volume and a small surface area, it will be able to keep in water easily. But if it needs outside gas input for its reactions, the small surface area may be a limiting factor.
What are the characteristics of respiratory surface?
large area
What provides a large surface area for gas exchange?
Your lungs provide a very large surface area for gas exchange.
How can capillaries allow gas exchange?
Large surface area + small radius for diffusion.
How have cells from the windpipe adapted to do their job?
they have a large surface area, a good blood supply close by, thin walls (often only 2 cells thick) and are moist. This all aids in effective gas exchange.
How does your body adapt surface area-to-volume ratios to help exchange gases?
By providing a large area in the lungs.
Where in the lungs does gas exchange happen?
AlveoliGaseous exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lung
Explain why large active organisms need special surface for exchange?
large organisms need larger area to exchange more substances.but large organisms have small surface area to volume ratio.this means that the surface is not large enough to enable gases and nutrients at the fast rate needed to keep all the cells alive.thus large organisms need special exchange surfaces to provide the body with the nutrients and gaseous exchange they require.
How does your body adopt surface area to volume ratio to help exchange gases-?
The skin surface is not large enough for big creatures such as humans; therefore we have structures in our lungs that greatly increase the surface area.
What organ does oxygen pass from into the capillaries?
I believe its the alveoli in the lungs. These alveoli provide a large surface area for gaseous exchange.
How do two capillary networks function in the fish circulatory system?
provides a large surface area for exchange in oxygen and gas?
What features of the alveoli mean that gas exchange is more efficient?
They Have A large surface area and they are full of red blood cells
Why must all respiratory system have a large surface area over which air can pass?
You have barile? Lungs have hierarchical structure which minimizes volume but maximises surface area Aveoli are the smallest units of structure and are the site of gaseous exchange: - They are circular = max surface area for min volume - Their most surfaces faciliate the exchange of gases - They have extensive blood supply which also faciliate the exchange
Why is there large surface area for the alveoli?
The function of alveuli is to provide a surface for gas exchange. Therefore, a large surface area means that there is a lot of area for the gas exchange to take place. Therefore it is to improve efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs (exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen). The large surface area is due to the shape of the alveoli- the have many small "pockets".
