Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs and each is made from a single layer of flat cells, Many alveoli in the lungs, so a large surface area for exchangement of C02 and O2. They are surrounded by a network of capillaries and oxygen diffuses out of them via the alveolar epithelium to the hemoglobin.

Hope this helps

Which sentence accurately compares a tropical dry forest with a tropical rain forest?
AVprozaik [17]
I don't see the choices, but I can help explain them to you! :) A Tropical Dry Forest has extremely high temperatures year round and doesn't get as much rain as a tropical rain forest. There tends to be more dry times of the year than wet, but when it rains, it rains a lot. On the other hand though, a Tropical Rain Forest has very humid and a really wet and soggy climate year round. It's extremely rare for this forest not to rain. I hope this cleared some things up for you! Hope this helped! :)

Which characteristic is common to both segmented worms and roundworms?
