Cellular respiration requires oxygen and glucose in order to create ATP By products of cel lular respiration are water and carbon dioxide During respiration the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen occurs in the lungs Alveoli are small structures found in the lungs where gas exchange occurs between the alveoli and capillaries In the lining of the alveoli of the lungs diffusion of carbon dioxide and oxygen must occur rapidly During the gas ex change diffusion of carbon dioxide and oxygen must occur rapidly The data table below shows the surface area to volume ratio with respect to the cell type A B Cell Type C Simple squamous Simple cuboidal Simple columnar Simple spherical Surface Area to Volume Ratio 9 6 Based on this information which of the following best explains a surface area to volume ratio of a cell that would be best suited for the cells in the lining of the lungs 4 3 A low surface area to volume ratio would be needed to allow for an increased amount of diffusion in and out of the cell A low surface area to volume ratio would be needed to allow for water to be quickdy transported through membrane proteins A high surface area to volume ratio would be needed to allow for an increased amount of diffusion in and out of the cell
