why is diffusion is an incomplete process to supply need of oxygen in multicellular organisms like us.

Dear student,

In multicellular organisms like human beings diffusion is insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of the body because of the following reasons :

• Diffusion is a very very slow process. Thus it can't fulfil the requirements of our body.

• The oxygen in human beings will have to travel last distances inside our body to reach each and every part of the cells.

• The volume of human body is so big that oxygen cannot diffuse into all the internal cells of the human body quickly.
