Because blood needs oxygen and thats where it gets the most of it

The lungs are the source of oxygen for the blood, and the blood vessels pass through it in order to exchange the Carbon dioxide that has been produced through respiration, with fresh oxygen to transport to the muscles so respiration may continue.

There are a large number because a larger surface area means more diffusion can occur, and we want the gas exchange to occur as quickly as possible, so when you're working hard and the muscles need more oxygen, this can be provided.

Clathrin coated vesicles bud from eukaryotic plasma membrane fragments when adaptor proteins, clathrin and dynamin-GTP are added
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: Clathrin cages assemble, vesicles form but cannot be pinched of but no disassembly occurs so the vesicles remain coated in clathrin.

Explanation:

Endocytosis is a cellular mechanism that allows the introduction of extracellular material into the cell. Clathrin-coated vesicles act to incorporate different molecules that are recognized by specific proteins located in the clathrin-coated pits. Upon invagination of a portion of the plasma membrane, the material is transported to its final intracellular destination.

<u>Clathrin is a protein that forms the lining of cell membrane microcavities where various receptors are located. Once a particle is recognized by the receptors, invagination of the plasma membrane occurs, which then fuses to form an endocellular vesicle.</u> When vesicle budding occurs, the vesicle is detached from its attachment to the membrane with the help of a GTPase protein called dynamin. Then, the vesicle is freed from clathrin by the action of a type of ATP-ase called Hsp70-ATP and docks to late endosomes that are immediate precursors of lysosomes, fusing the membranes of both. The fission of the clathrin-coated vesicle is controlled by the GTPase dynamin and it has been proposed that dynamin acts by generating the necessary force to strangle the "neck" and cleave the vesicles from the membrane. So they are mainly involved in the cleavage of newly formed vesicles from the membrane of one cell compartment, their orientation, and their fusion with another compartment. Also, without the dynamin, vesicles are not freed from clathrin.

<u>In the absence of dynamin, vesicles are formed but the membrane fusion or pinching off will not occur. Then, invaginated coated pits will be found.</u>

Why are groups of small cells better then one large cell at moving material in and out
Andrej [43]
Because these smaller cells can access and pass through the membranes of the other cell membranes and permeable coverings easily and voluntarily unlike larger cells. It is also for efficient for these smaller and miniscule cells to penetrate and travel, delivering and transporting goods and materials such as nutrients, oxygen and waste throughout the body without consuming enough energy and conserving lesser space.
For simple reasons, they are faster, more efficient and consumes little space, and most especially depletes lesser energy.
