What else can I help you with?
How do two capillary networks function in the fish circulatory system?
provides a large surface area for exchange in oxygen and gas?
What does the zone of cell elongation do?
provides a large surface area for transportation
Where in the lungs does gas exchange happen?
AlveoliGaseous exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lung
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".
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.
Which will dissolve faster a substance with little surface area or the one with a large surface area?
A substance with a larger surface area will dissolve faster because it provides more contact points for the solvent to interact with, leading to a faster rate of dissolution compared to a substance with little surface area.
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.
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.
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
Which type of bone provides a large flat surface area for muscle attachment?
Flat bones, like scapula
How does microvilli help in the digestion of food?
The provide the small intestine with a large surface area, and provides the capillaries close to the surface.
How can capillaries allow gas exchange?
Capillaries have thin walls that allow for diffusion of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood in the capillary and surrounding tissues. The close proximity of capillaries to cells ensures efficient exchange of gases due to a short diffusion distance. Additionally, the high surface area of capillaries facilitates a large area for gas exchange to occur.
