Summary Introduction
To determine:
The major theme that is evident from the given statement and explains the relation of the major theme with the statement “the web like form of plasmodium enlarges the organism surface area, increasing its contact with food, water and oxygen.
Introduction:
An organism’s surface area plays a major role in the absorption of food and nutrients greater is the surface areas more is the rate of absorption and more are the chances of an organism to get food and to absorb it. For example the presence of micro-villi on villi increases the surface area for the absorption of nutrients in the stomach in humans.
