Gas exchange takes place at a respiratory surface-a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the organism. For unicellular organisms the respiratory surface is governed by Fick's law, which determines that respiratory surfaces must have:

  • a large surface area
  • a thin permeable surface
  • a moist exchange surface.

How exchange of gases takes place in plants cell?

exchange of gases respiration and photosynthesis takes place through stem of the plant, the stem is green enough to carry the property of leaves, as in normal plants.. while exchange of gases in huge tree trunks takes place through lenticels, which are present in barks of the trunks... exchange of gases-respiration and photosynthesis- takes place through stem of the plant, the stem is green enough to carry the property of leaves, as in normal plants.. while exchange of gases in huge tree trunks takes place through lenticels, which are present in barks of the trunks...


What are the tiny air sacs called where the exchange of gases between air and blood take place?

Alveoli.


Why do unicellular organism do not need a system for transport a material?

Unicellular organisms are small and have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, allowing for efficient diffusion of materials in and out of the cell. Their simple structure and small size means they can rely on diffusion to transport materials within the cell and with their environment without the need for a complex transport system like that found in multicellular organisms.


How many times have multicellular organisms evolved from unicells?

none :) a bacteria is considered to be unicellular but there are many bacteria that live in clusters or are filamentous, in that case the intercellular interaction is more important and we can in a way see that as a multicellular organism. Theoretically a bacteria is unicellular , always !!

Where does the exchange of respiratory gases occur in the amoeba?

Small organisms, like a amoeba's, have large surface area : volume ratios which means the exchange can take place by diffusion through the cell wall, the same as any other single celled organsism.
