The four important characteristics of respiratory surface are:

1. Thin walls

2. Moisture

3. Large surface area

4. Blood supply

Respiratory system or respiratory tract is divided into upper and lower tract. Upper respiratory tract includes nose and its cavities, sinuses, pharynx and the part of the larynx. Lower respiratory tract consists of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli.

Alveoli are the ends of the respiratory tract the smallest units in it. Alveoli are small folded air sacs that are branching off from alveolar ducts and providing an extremely large surface area for the gas exchange. Gas exchange occurs thanks to small blood vessels – capillaries that surround alveoli and it occurs via the process of diffusion.

So, respiratory surface is thin membrane also known as the blood–air barrier that consists of the alveolar epithelial cells, their basement membranes and the endothelial cells of the alveolar capillaries.

Answer:

450 kilocalories.

Explanation:

Since only 1/10th of the energy that an organism consumes is passed onto the next level of the pyramid, that would mean only 500/10 = 50 kilocalories are passed on, and the remaining 500 - 50 = 450 kilocalories are used up.
