Reinforcement and support
parenchyma, in plants, tissue typically composed of living cells that are thin-walled, unspecialized in structure, and therefore adaptable, with differentiation, to various functions. The cells are found in many places throughout plant bodies and, given that they are alive, are actively involved in photosynthesis, secretion, food storage, and other activities of plant life. Parenchyma is one of the three main types of ground, or fundamental, tissue in plants, together with sclerenchyma (dead support tissues with thick walls) and collenchyma (living support tissues with irregular walls).
Out of the following given choices;
a. they increase the amount of energy transferred from the
lungs to the blood
b. they increase the flexibility of the lungs as they expand
during inhalation
c. they increase the volume of the lungs, allowing more
oxygen to be inhaled
d. they increase the surface area of the lungs, allowing the
efficient gas exchange
The answer is D. Due to their microscopic nature, they are numerous in the lungs and are also circular-shaped so as to increase the surface area for gaseous exchange.
Other characteristics of alveoli that increase gas exchange are that they thinned-walled (with only a layer of cells) and moist.
Two types of crust, the <span>thin oceanic crust that underlies the ocean basins, and the</span> continental crust that underlies the continents, which is thicker than the thin oceanic crust.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
The correct answer is : parasitism.
Explanation:
Parasitism is a symbiosis relationship in which two organism lives together but only one is benefited and other harm in any means. Toxoplasma is, in this case, parasite which is benefited while cats are host and harmed in this relationship.
Degree and chances of harm or benefit do not defines the symbiosis relationship between two organism. Cats are rarely harmed but still harmed in this relationship.
Thus, the correct answer is : parasitism.
