How does an earthworm exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with it's environment?
It has special skin that allows it to exchange
If babies can breathe in water in your belly then why cant we breathe under water?
Babies don't breathe the water in the womb. Their mothers breathe for them, and supply them with oxygen through the umbilical cord. Babies don't start breathing until they are born. Humans, well no mammal can breathe water, because our lungs can't get any oxygen from it. Although they do the same job, gills work in a slightly different manner, which allows fish to get oxygen from the water the way we get it from the air.
Which part of heart allows for the exchange of nutrients and oxygen?
The exchange of nutrients and oxygen does not take place in the heart. The exchange of oxygen takes place in the alveoli of the lungs and the exchange of nutrients takes place at numerous sites around the body, but the most predominant is the duodenum and ileum of the small intestine.
What allows the exchange of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen between plant and the atmosphere?
Stomata and lenticells
How does the fetus obtain food and oxygen?
The mother's blood supply enters the foetus via the umbillical cord and allows oxygen to diffuse from the mother's blood into the foetus.
What is a single pore on the underside of a leaf?
A stomata, which allows for the exchange of oxygen to exit and carbon dioxide to enter.
What structure in the respiratory system allows for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
The alveolar region of the lungs. (alveoli)
What system allows for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between the air and the blood?
It happens in the alveoli of the lungs
What is area of gas exchange in fetus?
this is the function of the placenta, the mothers blood flows through capillaries that run very close to capillaries filled with the fetus' blood and the gases diffuse across due to the higher oxygen affinity of fetal haemoglobin.
Which type of blood vessel allows for oxygen and carbon dioxide to exchange?
Capillaries are the thin-walled vessels that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. Their thin walls make it easy for gases to diffuse across the membranes.
Where do lungs exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide?
The lungs do not exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide. They exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. They do that in the aveoli.
Which process drives the gas exchange from the alveoli to the capillaries?
Diffusion is the process that allows the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli. This process is one of passive transport.
