Answer:

An increase in membrane thickness

Explanation:

Gaseous exchange occurs in relation to Fick's Law which states:

'the rate of diffusion is proportional to both the surface area and concentration difference and is inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane

Therefore, based on this law, an increase in the thickness of the membrane will result in a decreased diffusion rate which will in turn slow down the process of gaseous exchange

Is global warming an imminent world threat?” yes or no
dmitriy555 [2]
It is not, 'imminent,' since the ozone layer in the atmosphere is slowly repairing itself.  However, that being said, there is lots the human race can do to stop global warming.  It may have more effect in 30 years time, but, if humans do enough, we can stop worrying.  Renewable energy is a good idea to prevent global warming.  Since most of it is generated from Co2 emissions from generating power.  Electric cars are also good, because if we can make renewable energy (such as wind or solar power, or hydroelectric power for that matter) to power them, they will not produce emissions either.
