"""What is Fick's Law?""" Rate of diffusion is directly proportional
to:<div>surface area x concentration gradient/length of diffusion path</div>
What is the structure used for insect gas exchange? Tracheae- a network of tubes
supported by strengthened rings. These divide into smaller tubes called tracheoles
and extended throughout all of the tissue of the insect.
What are the three ways gases are exchanged in insects? Along a diffusion
gradient- as cells respire the concentration of oxygen falls, so a gradient is
created. The concentration of CO<sub>2 </sub>increases, creating another gradient,
thus causing oxygen to flow in and carbon dioxide to diffuse out.<div>Insects can
contract their muscles to squeeze their trachea enabling movements of air in and
out</div><div>The ends of the tracheoles are filled with water- during anaerobic
respiration, lactate is released, which dissolves in the water, making its water
potential more negative in the cells, causing water to enter to move into the cells
by osmosis. As such, the pressure in the tracheole decreases, causing air to come
in </div>
How do gases enter insects? The opening and closing of spiracles
What is the name for the fish apparatus for gases exchange?Gills
How are gills structured? Gills have filaments that are stacked up like pages
in a book and that increase the surface area of the gills. Additionally, these
filaments have lamellae, which exist at a right angle to the filaments, further
increasing the surface area

are flowing in opposite directions, blood with lots of oxygen meets water with lots
of oxygen, meaning a concentration gradient still exists. It also means the

cuticle on the surface of their skeleton</div>

leaves to decrease surface area</div><div>Hairy leaves to trap moist air next to
the leaf, decreasing the concentration gradient</div><div>Stomata in sunken pits,
