Gaseous Exchange π± Flashcards
Respiration
Complex process of oxidation reduction in which food is oxidized to release energy
During respiration which is release as by product
CO2
Gases exchange takes placed by the process of
Diffusion
Source of oxygen called respiratory media for aquatic and terrestrial organisms are
Air and water π¦
Which is the main source of oxygen on earth
Latter is the main source of oxygen on earth which contains about 21% oxygen
Why it is more difficult for aquatic organisms to obtain oxygen
Because water is denser than air
External waxy covering called ?
Cuticle
The cutilarized epidermis of leaves has numerous pores called ?
Stomata
Stomata is responsible for
Exchange of gases and evaporation of water
Stoma is formed by two modified bean shaped ?
Guard cells
Opening and closing of stomata depends upon
Turgidity of guard cells
What is photorespiration
It is a metabolic process that occurs commonly in plants like wheat rice and sugarcane
The plants in which photo respiration occurs are termed as
C3 plants
During hot and dry days stomata are
Closed to conserve water
During photosynthesis which enzyme is involved in catalyzing the fixation of carbon dioxide with RuBp to form an unsatavle hexose sugar ?
Rubisco
When ribolose bi phosphate combines with oxygen which two products are formed ?
One molecule of phosphoglyceric acid ( PGA )and one molecule of phosphoglycolate
What is the concentration of Oxygen and carbon dioxide outside or inside respiratory surface ?
There is greater concentration of Oxygen and lesser concentration of carbon dioxide outside the respiratory surface then inside π
Properties of respiratory surfaces :
πΌPermeable
πΌ wet
πΌ thin
πΌ large surface area and relation to volume
Respiratory organs of hydra
Diffusion by general body surface
Respiratory organs of earthworm
βWet skin as respiratory surface
β Moisture is absorbed by mucus secreted from the goblet glands in the skin of earthworm
β They have developed blood vascular system which can efficiently and rapidly transport respiratory gases within the body
Respiratory organs of cockroach
They have special type of respiratory system called tracheal system
Tracheal System consists of internal tubes called
Trachea
Trachea consist of minute slit like pores known as
Spiracles
Spiracles is divided into fine branches known as :
Tracheoles
