Unit 3 Flashcards
,What are the features of
specialised exchange
surfaces?
QUESTION
Large SA
Very thin shirt diffusion
distance
Selectively permeable
Moving external medium
conc grad
Moving internal medium
ANSWER
, How are respiratory gases
exchange along a diffusion
gradient in insects?
QUESTION
Oxygen conc falls at end of
tracheoles diff grad established
Diffuses from atmosphere to
cells
CO2 rises there opposite diff
grad established diffuses along
tracheoles to atmosphere
Diffuses faster in air than water
ANSWER
, How are respiratory gases
exchanged by mass
transport insects?
QUESTION
Muscles contract
Squeeze trachea
Mass movements of air in
and out
Speeds up exchange
