Alveolar-capillary membrane
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the two important gases that diffuse across the respiratory membrane. Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide moves from the bloodstream into the alveoli to be exhaled.
Flatworms do not have a circulatory system because they are thin enough for nutrients and gases to diffuse directly through their bodies. They also lack a respiratory system as they absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide through their skin.
gases with the higher molar mass
Yes, humans can absorb gases through the respiratory system when they breathe in gases present in the air. The gases pass through the lungs and are diffused into the bloodstream where they can be transported to different parts of the body.
Gases diffuse into and out of plants through small openings on the surface called stomata. These stomata are surrounded by guard cells that can open and close to regulate the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide with the environment. The process of gas exchange is essential for photosynthesis and respiration in plants.
lower exchange rate,takes longer for gases to diffuse

The gases are to dissolve and diffuse through.
At the respiratory surface gases diffuse into or out of the blood depending on the pressure gradient.
Insect respiratory system uses a system of internal tubes and sacs through which gases either diffuse or are actively pumped, delivering oxygen directly to tissues that need it via their trachea.
Rotifers do not breathe in the conventional sense, as they lack lungs or specialized respiratory structures. Instead, they exchange gases directly through their moist body surface, allowing oxygen to diffuse into their cells and carbon dioxide to diffuse out. This process is sufficient for their small size and aquatic habitat.
No, all gases do not diffuse at the same speed. Factors such as molecular weight, temperature, and pressure influence the diffusion rate of gases. Lighter gases tend to diffuse faster than heavier gases.
thin and moist, with a large surface area and a large concentration gradient.
the lungs
Flatworms do not have specialized respiratory organs like lungs or gills. Instead, they rely on diffusion to exchange gases directly through their body surface. Their flat, thin bodies provide a large surface area for oxygen to diffuse in and carbon dioxide to diffuse out, allowing them to respire efficiently in their aquatic or moist environments.
Nutrients and gases can diffuse directly across the cell membrane, thereby eliminating a need for such a complex system. #hopeihelped :)
