What are the adaptions of a red blood cell and a root hair cell to make a large surface area?
Red blood cells have a biconcave shape, which increases their surface area relative to their volume, allowing for more efficient gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Similarly, root hair cells possess long, thin extensions that increase the surface area available for water and nutrient absorption from the soil. These adaptations enhance their respective functions by maximizing contact with their environments.
What else can I help you with?
Are roots adapted to take in water because they have a small surface area?
No.Plant roots have large surface area,roots have root hairs to increase the surface area so that large amounts of water can be absorbed easily.
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.
What characteristic of these filaments helps with nutrient absorption?
large surface area
Why do epithelial cells have a large surface area?
Because they're flat.
Three ways in which lungs are well suited for absorbing gases?
Large surface area: The extensive network of alveoli in the lungs provides a large surface area for efficient gas exchange. Thin membrane: The thin alveolar membrane allows for rapid diffusion of gases between the air in the lungs and the bloodstream. Rich blood supply: The lungs receive a high volume of blood flow, ensuring that there is a constant supply of deoxygenated blood to pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
Why does a red blood cell have a large surface area?
To hold more oxygen.
What component of the blood the oxygen is transported in and how does its sturcture aid its function?
Haemoglobin it has a large surface area
Why do gills have a large surface area and are rich in blood?
because in many organisms like fish etc it is an organ for respiration the gills are supplied with capillaries so that the oxygen absorbed can diffuse into the blood it has large surface area so that more oxygen can be diffused in and more co2 can be removed
Why do lungs have a surface area of about 60 metres squared and a good supply of blood?
The large surface area and blood supply allow the largest opportunity for diffusion. Both of these factors make it easier for oxygen to move into the bloodstream and CO2 to move out.
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
What provides a large surface area for gas exchange?
Your lungs provide a very large surface area for gas exchange.
What makes villi good at absorbing food?
large surface area, thin epithelium, highly profused with blood vessels and lymphatics
Do stilts have a large surface area?
No
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. :)
Why does a small pin sink wheras a large boat does not?
Because a pin has a small surface area and a boat has a large surface area.
Why does an elephant use its large ears to keep cool?
An elephant has millions of blood vessels in it's ears. The large surface area of the ears combined with their ability to fan back and forth cools the blood and therefore the elephant.
How do you call the special structures for absorption in the small intestine?
thin lining good blood supply very large surface area
