Gas Exchange in Respiratory Systems of Various Animals

  • Exchange of gases occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system.
  • The nasal passage leads to the pharynx, a common passage for air movement.
  • Arteries are large blood vessels carrying oxygen-rich blood, while capillaries are thin structures reaching tissues and cells.
  • The difference between the pharynx and the nasal passage lies in their paths.
  • Respiration and breathing are distinct processes, with breathing involving inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
  • Inhaling involves the rib cage moving up and the diaphragm moving down to expand the chest cavity.
  • Exhaling sees the ribs moving down, the diaphragm moving up, and air rushing out of the lungs.
  • Cockroaches respire through spiracles, trachea, and tubes for gas exchange.
  • Earthworms breathe through their moist skin, with air dissolving into it and carbon dioxide diffusing out.
  • Fishes breathe through gills, extracting oxygen dissolved in water, while frogs, as amphibians, have lungs for respiration on land and in water.

"Unique Breathing Methods in Frogs, Fish, Plants"

  • Frogs breathe through their skin and lungs, with their moist skin aiding in underwater gas exchange and lungs helping on land.
  • Fish communicate through various methods like noise, bubbles, and color changes, forming their own language.
  • Plants respire by taking in oxygen through stomata on leaves and releasing carbon dioxide, with guard cells regulating the opening and closing of stomata.
  • Roots and stomata in plants facilitate gas exchange, with stomata aiding in photosynthesis and respiration.
  • Plants primarily perform photosynthesis during the day, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, while respiration occurs at night, leading to higher carbon dioxide levels around plants, making it advisable not to stay under a big tree at night due to increased carbon dioxide levels.
