Answer:

It provides more surface area for the absorption of oxygen.

Explanation:

The advantage of lungs with alveoli compared to lungs without alveoli is the availability of large surface area for the oxygen absorption. Alveoli allows oxygen from the air to pass into your blood. There are 480 million alveoli are present in human lungs, this large number and small size of alveoli provides lungs a large surface area to volume ratio so we can conclude that the lungs work better with the help of alveoli as instead of lungs without alveoli.

Which of the following characteristics can distinguish bacterial cells from cells in the other domains of life
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The characteristic that can distinguish bacterial cells from cells in the other domains of life is that only bacterial cells have peptidoglycan cell wells.

What is the major difference between a bacterial cell and the cells of other organisms?

Animal and plant cells are different from bacterial cells in a number of ways. One key distinction is that, unlike plant and animal cells, bacterial cells lack internal organelles including mitochondria, chloroplasts, and a nucleus.

Bacteria can be categorised according to their morphology, such as bacilli (rod-shaped), cocci (sphere-shaped), and spirilli (spirals). In that they have cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane, bacteria resemble eukaryotic cells. A bacterial cell can be distinguished from a eukaryotic cell by its circular nucleoid DNA, absence of membrane-bound organelles, peptidoglycan cell wall, and flagella.
