plants dicotyledonus occurs in leaves . The Stomata can
open-close to allow
gas diffusion in +out of leaf .
The
mesophyll cells have a
large surface area for rapid diffusion
Gas exchange can lead to water loss . Plants control their opening of Stomata to limit this
and
xerophytes may have additional adaptations Such as : hairs, waxy cuticle ,
small leaves ,
sunken
rolled leaves .
Insects can also control water loss but

gas exchange System
lungs
Alveolar epithelium is adapted for
gas exchange by having a
good blood Supply ,
thin walls + elastic fibres
which help recoil
Ventilation is the process of breathing in and out
Inspiration : external intercostal muscles contract , rib Cage moves up t out, diaphram contracts, volume of the thorax
is increased, pressure in the thorax decreases atmospheric pressure is than the
pulmonary
so
greater
pressure + air is forced into lungs
Expiration :
internal intercostal muscles contract , ribs more down and inwards, diaphram relaxes , volume of the
thorax is decreased pressure is than air is
,
pulmonary greater atmospheric pressure ,
forced out of the lungs
