<u>Large surface area - many alveoli are present in the lungs with a shape that further increases surface area. Thin walls - alveolar walls are one cell thick providing gases with a short diffusion distance. Moist walls - gases dissolve in the moisture helping them to pass across the gas exchange surface.</u>

What complementary strand of DNA would be produced from the strand of DNA shown below?<br> TCG GA
mariarad [96]
Complementary pairing goes like this:

A pairs with T and 
C pairs with G. Nothing about this changes unless you get to mRNA (But we won't go into that) :)

So if you have a strand that goes TCG GA then your pairing will look like this:

T A
C G
G C
G C
A T

Hope this helps!! :)
