Q

how is large surface area adapted to respiratory surfaces

A

increases opportunity for gas exchange.

loosely packed spongy mesophyll in a mesophytic leaf creates a large surface area for gas exchange

Q

how does thin make it adapted to respiratory surfaces

A

reduces diffusion distance and speeds up the rate of diffusion
walls of alveoli are one cell thick
