One cell thick structures allow for rapid and efficient diffusion because they minimize the distance that molecules have to travel to pass through the cell. This short distance ensures that molecules can quickly move in and out of the cell without encountering barriers, leading to faster transport across the membrane. Additionally, the single-layer design provides a large surface area relative to the volume of the cell, further facilitating efficient diffusion.

What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane?
It's so easy osmosis is the answer You welcome
What is the function of simple squamous epithelium of the alveoli?
The alveoli is just one cell layer thick so that diffusion of gasses between the capillaries and the alveoli is easy. Simple squamous epithelium are found in the capillary walls and the alveolar walls. They are thin so diffusion is easy.
How does a single celled organism get its nutrients?
Easy!! diffusion.. because single celled organisms have a large surface area to volume ratio meaning that there exchange surface is large enough to allow efficient diffusion fast enough to keep the cells alive (1 cell.. lol ). they also aren't very active they can rely on diffusion alone to take up water and other important solutes.. Diffusion through osmosis occurs in single celled organisms when they have a lower water potential inside the cell than outside so water flows into the cell (down the concentration gradient) via a partially permeable membrane. hope that helped from Kate Gibson 16
How many cells thick is moss?
Moss is typically one cell thick. It is composed of simple, non-vascular plants that lack a complex structure like other plant types. This allows for easy gas exchange and absorption of water and nutrients directly through their thin layer of cells.
How does material enter and leave a cell?
Materials can exit the cell using exocitosis. Endocitosis is when cells enter the cell by the cell forcing the material to enter. Osmosis and diffusion are also ways that materials can enter/exit the cell. Remember, the cell membrane is made up of protein channels and fat layers!

Why do capillaries permit the diffusion of materials whereas arteries and veins do not?
why do capillaries permit the diffusion of materials, whereas arteries and veins do not? Because the capillaries are the only blood vessels whose walls are thin enough to permit exchanges between the blood and the surrounding interstitial fluid
What type of diffusion takes place when a plant cell absorbs water?
The plant cell absorbs water by simple diffusion and osmosis. Also water can pass from cell to cell through the Plasmodesmata (which are communication channels through the cell wall from cell to cell, providing a very easy and important method for water transportation between the cells ). Also, the large area inside the cells occupied by the vacuoles increases the osmotic pressure ,and that in turn facilitates diffusion. It's note worthy that water passes through many different types of diffusion before reaching the cell environment where it will be absorbed by simple diffusion as we have said. To give you an example about the journey of water from the roots to the cells, the plant vessels absorb water by using methods like diffusion and active transport. In the Phloem, Sucrose is absorbed by active transport ( a process that increases the osmotic pressure ) and as a consequence water enters inside it by osmosis.

How is blood capillary adapted to carry out its specific functions?
1) Its only open when the pressure of O2 drops. 2) Its so small (in diameter) that the red cells must fold up to fit (thus flushing all the blood). 3) Its walls are so thin (one cell thick) that gas diffusion is maximized.
Why are capillaries thin walled?
Capillaries are one cell thin so that the red blood cells can easily exchange oxygen that they picked up in the lungs, with the bodies cells.
Why aren't children allow sellphones?
They're a distraction ! It's far too easy fro them to get engrossed in using a cell phone - than to concentrate on their schoolwork.
