Tracheoles are adapted for diffusion by being highly branched for a larger surface area and shorter diffusion pathway, having thin walls for a shorter pathway, and being filled with air to allow faster diffusion.
- highly branched - higher surface area for diffusion - shorter diffusion pathway - thin walls - shorter diffusion pathway - full of air - faster diffusion
