How many cells thick is a leaflet?
the leaf cell is 15micrometers big
What provide the greatest surface area for gas exchange?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs.
What is needed to accomplish a strong contraction and are stimulated at a rapid rate?
Nurotransmiters, oxytocin and muscle cells.
How many cells thick are the walls of capillaries?

How many cells have cell walls?
plant cells have cell walls
Why do many desert homes have thick walls?
Thick walls moderate the temperature. The home remains cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
Are alveoli cells?
Yes. Alveolus is composed of many cells that work for a common function, to take out carbon dioxide and oxygenate the blood.

How is Alveoli well adapted to diffusion?
The alveoli have very thin walls, which allow for rapid diffusion into the surrounding capillaries. There are also many alevoli in the lung, and that increases the surface area dramatically, allowing for more diffusion to occur
Which kingdoms organism have no cell walls?
Animal cells do not have cell walls. Many animal-like protists also lack cell walls.
How are the alveoli designed to maximise the exchange of gases?
the paouch like air secs at the smallest lenchioles is called alveoli.the walls of alveoli are very thin and they are sorrounding thin blood capllaries .it is in alveoli exchange of gaseouse takes place there are so many alveoli in blood so they provides very larges surface srea for cxchanges of gaseouse
