Why do reptiles have hard shelled eggs?
Reptiles have hard-shelled eggs because the shell provides protection and support for the developing embryo. It allows for gas exchange with the environment and prevents the egg from drying out. This adaptation is key for reptiles, as they lay their eggs outside of their bodies.
Can manometers be used to record any metabolic gas exchange?
Manometers are typically used to measure pressure, so they are not commonly used to directly measure metabolic gas exchange. For recording metabolic gas exchange, methods such as gas analyzers or respiratory gas exchange systems are more commonly used because they can measure specific gas concentrations in exhaled breath.
What animals lay leathery eggs?
I'm pretty sure it's reptiles in general snakes, turtles.
Does a reptile have dry skin or an amphibian?
Reptiles have dry, scaly skin while amphibians have moist, smooth skin. This difference in skin type helps reptiles to retain moisture and prevent desiccation on land, whereas amphibians rely on their moist skin for oxygen intake and gas exchange.
Why is water always lost from the gas exchange surface?
Water is lost from the gas exchange surface of terrestrial organisms because gases must be exchanged with air. Terrestrial organisms have a high water potential, therefore when the gas exchange occurs water will be lost.
What is the organ for gas exchange in reptilia?
We know that reptiles have lungs, just like many other animals do.
Why does an amphibian breathe differently from a reptile?
As young amphibians have external gills. As adults their skins are permeable to gas exchange. Reptiles breath only with their lungs.
What do reptiles breathe with?
Most reptiles exchange gases through their lungs. The lungs of reptiles are folded so as to make enough room for gaseous exchange.
Does an owl have an amniotic egg?
Mammals, birds, and reptiles lay amniotic eggs, so, yes, owls have amniotic eggs. Amniotic eggs contain a yolk and aid in gas and energy exchange.
Is gas exchange a function of the digestive system?
Gas exchange is a function of respiration not digestion.
Why do reptiles have hard shelled eggs?
Reptiles have hard-shelled eggs because the shell provides protection and support for the developing embryo. It allows for gas exchange with the environment and prevents the egg from drying out. This adaptation is key for reptiles, as they lay their eggs outside of their bodies.
What is the elastic unit of the respiratory system where gas exchange occurs?
Alveoli is where gas exchange occurs.
The Group of animals with the most efficient respiratory system?
Because of counter-current exchange, fish gills are the most efficient at gas exchange. This is followed by the continuous flow of bird lungs (due to their system of air-sacs). I don't know which animal exactly, but look to the fish for your answer.
What allows terrestrial reproduction reptiles have an egg containing?
Most reptiles reproduce sexually although some species reproduce asexually. Upon fertilization, the embryo develops inside an egg with a calcaeous shell. This egg serves to protect the embryo, prevents drying out of the amniotic layer, and allows for efficient gas exchange.
What do gas exchange systems have in common?
The exchange surfaces are moist.
What is the name for exchange of gas in the lungs?
gaseous exchange
Where does gas exchange occur?
gas exchange occurs between the thin walls of the alveoli and the thin walls of the capillaries
