How would thick-walled alveoli affect the exchange of the respiratory gases?

lower exchange rate,takes longer for gases to diffuse


What two important gases diffuse across the respiratory 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.


Do flatworms have a need for circulatory or respiratory systems?

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.


Why do gas exchange surfaces need to be moist?

The gases are to dissolve and diffuse through.


How does the circulator systems work with the respirator systems to get oxygen into the blood?

At the respiratory surface gases diffuse into or out of the blood depending on the pressure gradient.


How do insects respire?

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.


Does the rotifer breath?

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.


Does all gases diffuse the same speed?

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.


Gases diffuse most efficiently across a respiratory membrane if the membrane is?

thin and moist, with a large surface area and a large concentration gradient.


The exchange of respiratory gases in a cell takes place through the?

the lungs


What is the resparitory organs of flatworms?

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.


Why does single celled organism not necessarily need a respiratory system?

Nutrients and gases can diffuse directly across the cell membrane, thereby eliminating a need for such a complex system. #hopeihelped :)
