Gradually taking in of a substance, for example the villi in the small intestine pull in the nutrients so that they can be transported by the blood Absorption
a chemical that helps us identify the presence of something (i.e. BTB changes color when exposed to CO2.) Indicator
Breaks down food into the nutrients to be absorbed into the blood. Digestive System

What is the structure in the lungs that increases the surface area so that the 0xygen exchange for Carbon Dioxide happens quicker? Aveoli

What other organs secrets chemicals to help break down the food in the small intestine? Pancreas
Why are the lungs made of many tiny air sacs, instead of being just one big balloon type structure.? to increase surface area so that the gas exchange, Oxygen into the blood, and carbon dioxide out of the blood can happen faster.
