Describe how alveoli are adapted for gas exchange( 4 marks)​

Biology

SashulF [63]3 years ago

Answer:

they give the lungs a really big surface area. they have moist, thin walls (just one cell thick) they have a lot of tiny blood vessels called capillaries.

The walls of the alveoli are only one cell thick. This makes the exchange surface very thin - shortening the diffusion distance across which gases have to move. Each alveolus is surrounded by blood capillaries which ensure a good blood supply.Adaptations of the alveoli:

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. Permeable walls - allow gases to pass through.

Answer:

The distance traveled by Joe in feet is 39,372 ft:

Explanation:

The conservation factor from km to Ft is 1 km = 3280.84 feet.

* In order to convert the value-form km to ft then we multiply the given value of the length by 3281.

*We are given that:

*Distance traveled by Joe = 12km

*Distance in feet = 12×3281

*Distance in feet = 39,372 ft

**Thus, the Distance traveled by Joe in feet is 39,372 ft.

Which statement explains how convection currents affect the movement of plates? Gravity pulls one edge of a plate down into the
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Convection currents direct the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle.

In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading.

So, I would say the answer is:

As convection currents drift across the oceans,

they bring the pieces of Earth's crust with them as the supercontinent breaks apart.

Glad I could help, hv a good day :)
