they have a large surface area to allow a lot of oxgen to difuse acroos. in other words to allow for efficent gas exchange.
they also have an excellent blood supply

Why are the walls of the alveoli one cell thick?
The reason for this is that oxygen and carbon dioxide need to diffuse through this membrane very quickly to re-oxygenate the blood. The thicker the barrier, the longer the process, and since breathing is rather rapid it needs to happen fast.
What is the primary function of erythrocytes?
also known as the red blood cells. They transport oxygen around the body, the tissue is called oxygenated blood. The oxygen is then diffused through the capilaries as they are just thick enough.

List the route that the carbon dioxide takes on its way back to the atmosphere?
The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygen enters the lungs and reaches the alveoli. The layers of cells lining the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries are each only one cell thick and are in very close contact with each other. This barrier between air and blood averages about 1 micron (1/10,000 of a centimeter) in thickness. Oxygen passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.
What is the importance of a silica and oxygen in lava flow speed?
Silica will determine if the lava is hot and runny or thick and slow!
How do scorpians breath?
they absorb oxygen through the thick exo shell

Why are capillaries only one cell thick and have opening in the cell wall?
oxygen has to pass through them to make blood rich
Why does the walls of the capillaries and the alveoli have to be thin?
If their walls are too thick, substances like oxygen and nutrients and waste cannot pass across the cells into or out of the body.
Does electricity move better through thick or thin wire?
Electricity moves better through thick wire. This is because thick wires have a lower resistance and allows more current to pass through it. Now that might be true but I did an experiment with a thick wire,thin wire,light bulb,and D batteries and the thin wire made the light bulb light up brighter. So, really its probably a thin wire.
Were does carbodioxide you breathe out came from?
when you breath in oxygen, it goes through the bronchi in your lungs, through the bronchioles and then to the alveoli from there it goes to the capillaries where the oxygen dissolves into the blood through tissue that is one cell thick. as that happens, the carbon dioxide that is in your blood already, dissolves out into the alveoli. then it travels through the bronchioles, bronchi, and to your lungs, then out your nose.
What is the extrude feature?
it allows you to make it as thick as you want
What is the definition of 'translucent'?
It means partly transparent or allowing light to pass through partially translucent is like thick glass or paper, it allows light through but it is NOT seethrough like transparent windows.
Why is a thin wooden plate not transparent while even a thick glass panel can be transparent?
The definition of "transparent" is, "allows light to pass through". Regardless of width, an object can only be transparent if its composition allows light to pass through. The other criteria is thickness. Even if the object is made of glass, if it is thick enough it will not be transparent. You will not be able to see through it although some glimmer of light may reach all the way through and appear, usually as a pale green glow.
How can you dry your thick hair quickly?
Use a hair dryer
What happens to the air as it travels in the body?
When we breathe oxygen.The oxygen then goes down the trachea and through the bronchiole tubes and into the lungs, where it meets the alveoli. The Oxygen in the alveoli then diffuses through the alveoli and through the capillaries in the lungs. The capillaries are only one cell thick, thus making it easier for the oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through. The carbon dioxide diffuses through, in the other direction from, the capillaries to the alveoli, where it can leave the body via the bronchiole tubes, trachea and exiting out the mouth and we end up breathing out oxygen. Also the name for when we breathe oxygen and and breathe out carbon dioxide is "gas exchange"
How can mosquito bite through a thick head of hair?
They are able to bite or penetrate through a thick head of hair because of their small size and their long mouth. They are little enough to get past the hair to the skin.
