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.
All gaseous exchange surfaces are moist to facilitate the diffusion of gases. Water vapor present in the moisture creates a concentration gradient, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to dissolve and diffuse more easily across cell membranes. Additionally, moisture helps maintain the structural integrity of the exchange surfaces, preventing them from drying out and ensuring efficient gas exchange. This is especially crucial in organisms like humans and plants, where respiration and photosynthesis rely on effective gas exchange.
No, humans are living organisms, not structures. Structures are typically inanimate objects that are constructed or formed by humans, whereas humans are biological beings that are part of the natural world.
Single cell organisms do not have a circulatory system like humans because they are single-celled and do not have complex internal structures. Instead, they rely on simple diffusion for the exchange of gases and nutrients.
man-made structures were made by humans, but natural structures made itself.
haemoglobin present in the RBC helps in gaseous exchange and transport in humans .. where as in plants its through stomata , cuticle , lenticels etc....

yes humans are responsible
Gaseous exchange is the biological process through which organisms exchange gases, primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide, with their environment. In humans and many animals, this occurs in the lungs where oxygen is inhaled into the alveoli and diffuses into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide is expelled from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. In plants, gaseous exchange occurs through small openings called stomata, where carbon dioxide enters for photosynthesis and oxygen is released as a byproduct. This process is essential for maintaining cellular respiration and overall metabolic functions.

The respiratory organs of air-breathing animals.
for heating and cooking, gaseous fuel, and to create electricity
yes Ozone has been shown to exacerbate asthma symptoms. It also does the same sort of damage to the breathing structures of all organisms that exchange gases to / from the atmosphere.
humans are responsible
The skin surface is not large enough for big creatures such as humans; therefore we have structures in our lungs that greatly increase the surface area.
