What is the function of a guard?
To increase the surface area for gaseous exchange.
What is 'gaseous exchange'?
Gaseous exchange is the movement of oxygen in the body, it takes place in the lungs through diffusion by the alveolar surface. There are millions of alveloi in the lungs, which gives it around 70m2 of exchange surface.
What is the function of a leafs stomata?
Help in gaseous exchange
What organ does oxygen pass from into the capillaries?
I believe its the alveoli in the lungs. These alveoli provide a large surface area for gaseous exchange.
Name the respiratory surface in the lungs?
Respiratory surface is the region where gaseous exchange occur. It includes respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct and alveolus. Large surface surface is needed the increase the diffusion rate of gaseous. Respiratory surface also exhibit other properties such as moist and only one-cell thick. Nika G.
Why are sponge lungs better than hollow lungs?
Because they have a greater surface area over which gaseous exchange can take place.
Which does not have surface?
Gaseous state does not have surface.
How does gaseous exchange take place in the lower plants?
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.
How do the structures of the alveoli and capillaries support the function of gas exchange?
Alveoli are found within the lungs. The alveoli act as a specialised gaseous exchange surface in mammals. Another function of alveoli is the production of surfactant.
Why must all respiratory system have a large surface area over which air can pass?
You have barile? Lungs have hierarchical structure which minimizes volume but maximises surface area Aveoli are the smallest units of structure and are the site of gaseous exchange: - They are circular = max surface area for min volume - Their most surfaces faciliate the exchange of gases - They have extensive blood supply which also faciliate the exchange
How lenticels are used by plants in gaseous exchange?
Lenticels are small, corky pores found on the surface of stems and roots of plants that allow for the exchange of gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide between the internal tissues and the external environment. They help in facilitating the intake of oxygen needed for respiration and the release of carbon dioxide produced during metabolic processes, aiding in overall gaseous exchange in plants.
Is Pluto's surface gaseous?
No, Pluto's surface is solid nitrogen ice.
