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.
Convolutions of the brain provide increased what?
The convolutions increase the surface are of the cerebrum.
Why is a cell's size limited?
because the diffusion of a cell. and the volume surface area of the cell.
How is surface area important to gas exchange?
Gas exchange is important as it is the transfer of oxygen from the surroundings to individual cells in the body, required by the cells for respiration. This process produces energy, essential for the organisms survival. A waste product of respiration is carbon dioxide, which if not removed from the body by gas exchange, will be harmful.
How is ileum of a mammal adapted for the absorption of digested food?
1/ the lining has A a very large surface area. 2/ the length of the intestine (ileum 3.5m) help increase the surface surface area for absorption. 3/ millions of villi provide a large surface area in contact with the digested food. 4/ hundreds of micro villi on the surface cells (on each villus) increase the surface area for absorption. your welcome :)
What provides a large surface area for gas exchange?
Your lungs provide a very large surface area for gas exchange.
The greatest surface area for gas exchange occurs within the?
alveoli of the lungs. These tiny sacs are surrounded by a network of capillaries, allowing for efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the bloodstream.
The folds of the inner sac provide what?
Folds increase surface area and therefore a greater surface area for gas exchange
What placental structure has villi?
To Provide maximum surface area for exchange
What does the capillary network in each gill filament provide?
A high surface area for gas exchange.
How can eukaryotic cell membrane provide higher rate of exchange of materials?
Increase the surface area of the cell.
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 happens if the surface area of the respiratory membrane decrease in gas exchange?
A decrease in the surface area of the respiratory membrane will result in a decrease in gas exchange.
The greatest area for gas exchange in the lungs is provided by?
greatest area for gas exchange in the lungs is provided by Whoever wrote the above answer is a dick head. Try ALVEOLI.

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.
What happens to the greatest common factor of the cylinders' surface area if its radius is squared?
Nothing. The cylinder's surface area does not have a GCF.
