GAS EXCHANGE WITH ENVIRONMENT.

Gas exchange in Animals

Gas exchange in animals. In animals, gas exchange follows the same general pattern as in plants.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide move by diffusion across moist membrane. In simple animals, the exchange
occurs directly with the environment. But with complex animals, such as mammals, the exchange occurs
between the environment and the blood.

The blood then carries oxygen to deeply embedded cells and transport carbon dioxide out to where it
can be removed from the body.

Mechanism for Gas exchange

All living things obtain the obtain the energy day need by metabolizing energy-rich compounds,such
as carbohydrates and fats in the majority of organisms, this metabolism take place by respiration a
process that requires oxygen.

Gas exchange is thus as essential process in energy metabolism, and gas exchange is an essential
prerequisite to life, because where energy is lacking , life cannot continue.

Gas exchange in simple Organisms

Single called organisms such as bacteria and protozoa, are in constant contact
with their membranes.

Gas exchange in Plants

Plants do not have specialized structures for exchange.

-In small plants such as mosses, leaves and other structures are very thin and
gases are able to move in and out via diffusion.

-In move complex plants oxygen and carbon dioxide is exchanged through the
stomata on leaves, stem and roots.
