Question

How does your body adapt surface area-to-volume ratios to help exchange gases?

Answer 1

The way how our bodies adapt surface area-to-volume ratios to help exchange gases is that our lungs has alveoli which consist of very small spheres whose main function is to allow us to exchange gas. I hope it is clear. Regards!

Answer 2

Answer:

The surface area to volume ratio of a cell must be such that the cell membrane has enough surface area to adequately serve the internal contents (volume) of the cell, including the adequate exchange of gases. As the cell grows, its surface area to volume ratio decreases, reducing the rate of gas exchange.
