Plants and animals need to obtain things from their enviroment and release things into it.
Plants- In- carbon dioxide- out- oxygen,water vapour
Animals- In-oxygen water food-Out- co2 water and urea
very small organisms can exchange materials with the enviroment by diffuision through their body surface
surface area : volume ratio
Large organisms have specialised exchange surfaces to compensate for their low surface area.
