Many organ systems are specialised for exchanging materials. The effectiveness of an exchange surface is increased by......	■ having a large surface area ■ being thin, to provide a short diffusion path ■ (in animals) having an efficient blood supply ■ (in animals, for gaseous exchange) being ventilated.
What can effect the ability of organisms to exchange materials?	The size and complexity of an organism increases the difficulty of exchanging materials.
