How the direction of exchange of gases in plants changes during the day?

During day, light reaction takes place which is used by plants for taking oxygen (o2) and giving out carbon dioxide (co2) by the process of photosynthesis. During night, dark reaction takes place which is used by plants for vice versa.


Why do plants need stomata and air space?

The air space keeps the stomata moist so that transpiration and gas exchange can occur. The gas exchange in the stomata needs to take place so that photosynthesis can occur. So without the air space you have no stomata, and without the stomata you have no photosynthesis which is how plants obtain their food.


What is the purpose of air spaces in the spongy layer?

Air spaces in the spongy layer of a leaf facilitate gas exchange by allowing for the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the leaf cells and the external environment. This helps in photosynthesis by providing a pathway for carbon dioxide to reach the chloroplasts and for oxygen to exit the leaf during respiration.


Where does the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen take place?

The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place in the lungs, specifically in the alveoli where oxygen is taken in by the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood to be exhaled out of the body through the respiratory system.


What are the functions of the stomata?

the exchange of carbon dioxide to oxygen.help things to get in the leaf. (water e.c.t.)water, CO2,sunlight can get in when the stomate is open

Where can you exchange a co2 tank?

There is not a place where you can trade in Co2 tanks. Except possibly a pawn shop.


What is one important structural characteristic in the lung?

the alveoli. without the billions of alveoli the lungs could not exchange CO2 for 02


The exchange between alveoli and capillaries allows what?

gas exchange to take place/to allow cells to lose CO2 and gain O2 so they will be oxygenated and ready to be pumped around your body.


Why circulation takes place in animals and plants?

To exchange gases such as co2 and o2


Why is it better for a lung to consist of thousands of tiny air sacs rather than one large air sac?

Consisting of thousands of tiny air sacs increases the surface area inside of the lung which allows for better gas exchange. If the lung was made of one larger air sac, you would not be able to exchange as many gases (oxygen/CO2) with each breath.


What is H2CO3H2O CO2?

What other substance is needed for the respiration to take place?

Co2


Why exchange of substances blood and cells take place through capillaries?

Capillaries have thin and permeable walls which allow the exchange of substances (such as nutrients, oxygen and CO2) to occur. This enables substances to dissociate throughout the entire body (as capillaries are present throughout the entire body).


If the partial pressure of CO2 at sea level is approximately 0.23 mm Hg how does this influence gas exchange in terrestrial animals?

A lower partial pressure of CO2 at sea level can facilitate the diffusion of CO2 from tissues to blood. This promotes efficient removal of CO2 during gas exchange in terrestrial animals, ensuring effective respiration and transportation of gases in the body.


Will diffusion take place in co2 gas and bromine gas?

Yes.


How do animals exchange gas?

They take in oxygen and release co2 by their skin, lungs and sometimes tissue in their throats.


What are found at the end of the air tubes at the end of the lung?

The two tubes are the Bronchili and these take air to the alveoli where oxygen is used up and converted into co2
