Special surfaces for exchange

All living thigns need certain substances to sustain life name them? What they are for? Where may organisms get these from? Or? As part of? in either case what must each living cell be able to do? what do all living cells need to remove? From where? What are these? What can single cells and small orgamisms exchange? Across what? what do they have large? What if ulticelluar becomes larger? What does it need more of? what does it mean its surface isn’t large enough to do? what would nutrients and gases also have to do more? What do larger organism need? What do they often combine?

All good exchange systems have certain features in common? Larg what? for? Thin what? for what? fresh what ? for what? removal of? why? what are the latter three important in maintaing? What do exchange surfaces also use? To do what? where aer exchange surfaces found? Examples?
