It is important so that the diffusion distance is shortened so gas exchange occurs more efficient.
As you may already know, lungs are used for gas exchange, and the alveoli is the surface for gas exchange. Gas exchange is where carbon dioxide from the blood capillaries (on the alveoli) are diffused into the alveoli, while the new oxygen that we breathed in are diffused to the capillaries.
Since the whole has exchange process relays on diffusion, so diffusion must happened fast in order to increase the efficiency. Therefore, the alveoli is only one cell thick so carbon dioxide and oxygen has a shorter distance to diffuse through so more of these gas can be exchanged.
The correct answer is A because metabolic activities can only be carried at our certain temperatures, thus making it essential.
I'm not quite sure, but i believe that you are already simplified. There are only ten millimeters per centimeter, so if its only to the tenth, its already simplified. Sorry if this is not much help, or if its wrong, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box.
C is the answer because water and carbon dioxide are left over after and
mitochondria is the thing in the cell that converts everything.
The second messenger camp is synthesized by the enzyme adenylyl cyclase.
God bless!
