    Problem: How totransport O2 and nutrients

    • Every organism must exchangematerials with its environment

    • Exchanges ultimately occur at thecellular level by crossing the plasmamembrane

    ns: 1. The delivery of O2 and nutrientsneeded

      2. Removal of CO2 and wastes

    In unicellular organisms, theseexchanges occur directly with the

    • mall molecules can move between

    cells andtheir surroundings by diusion

    • !ifusion is only e"cient over smalldistances because the time it ta#es todifuse is proportional to the s$uare o%the distance

    The increase in animal

    size through evolution

    led to many steps in
