The diagram shows the main structures of the human respiratory system. The labelled alveoli (C) are spherical with an average radius of 0.10 mm. The total number of alveoli is \(4.8\times10^{8}\). Because each alveolus is highly folded, the effective internal surface area is three times the geometric surface area of a smooth sphere.\n\nCalculate the total internal surface area available for gas exchange in the lungs, expressing your answer in square metres (m\(^2\)).

Answer Options

A. ≈ 2.4×10² m² (about 240 m²)
B. ≈ 1.2×10² m² (about 120 m²)
C. ≈ 9.0×10¹ m² (about 90 m²)
Correct Answer D. ≈ 1.8×10² m² (about 180 m²)
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
≈ 1.8×10² m² (about 180 m²)
