In lower plants such as mosses and liverworts, gaseous exchange occurs through simple diffusion across the cell membranes. These plants lack specialized structures like stomata found in higher plants, so gases enter and exit the plant cells directly through their surfaces. This process is limited by the surface area available for exchange, making lower plants reliant on moist environments for efficient gaseous exchange.
The diffusion of gases takes place from their higher concentration to lower concentration. Exchange of oxygen by carbondioxide is the usual feature of breathing by lungs.
gaseous exchange - in the alveolis
stomata
Gaseous exchange in humans takes place in the alveoli of the lungs. Oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled.
alveoli is the site for gaseous exchange. They are the air filled sacs where carbon dioxide and oxygen is exchanged
In the alveoli
Transpiration in green plants takes place through the stomata and cuticle. The stomata perform the function of gaseous exchange and during this process water vapours also get transferred due to difusion.
In earthworms the gaseous exchange takes place from their skin
Gaseous exchange takes place when the volume of the chest cavity is increased or decreased.
Gaseous exchange is the process of transferring oxygen from inhaled air into the bloodstream and removing carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the exhaled air. This occurs in the alveoli of the lungs.
Respirtary system, lungs, also known as thoratic region
gaseous exchange takes place when the volume of the chest cavity is increased or decreased.
