Q

Gas exchange definition

A

The process by which oxygen is gained (entering the body) and carbon dioxide (leaving the body) is removed from the body occurring across gas exchange surfaces by diffusion.

Q

What is an animal that has gas exchange at the end of fine tubes through out the body? and How?

A

Insects. And they do this by breathing in through their spiracles (small holes in abdomen). Then the air enters the spiracle allowing oxygen to travel along a network of tubes called trachea to reach the cells in the insects body.

Q

What is an organism that has gas exchange internal lungs? Explain how this process occurs.

A

Frog. Gas exchange occurs when the frog gulls in air. Then the pressure of the air inside the mouth cavity increases, air moves from the mouth cavity (high pressure) to the lungs (low pressure)

Q

What is the difference between small animals and large animals in terms of gas exchange?

A

In small animals the SA:vol ratio is large enough for diffusion across the general body surface HOWEVER in larger animals the SA:vol ratio is small, diffusion across the body surface is insufficient and therefore their bodies have developed specialised respiratory systems.
