Study Notes
Gas Exchange in Animals
- Gas exchange occurs in animals, not just plants.
- Practical 7.12 investigates carbon dioxide uptake/release in mealworms.
Practical 7.12 Aim
- To determine changes in carbon dioxide levels in a tube with mealworms.
Practical 7.12 Materials
- Boiling tube (2)
- Forceps (2)
- Cotton thread
- Test tube rack
- Mealworm (1)
- Measuring cylinder (10 cm³)
- Hydrogencarbonate indicator (1)
- Plastic vial with small holes (1)
Practical 7.12 Procedure
- Add 3 cm³ of hydrogencarbonate indicator to two boiling tubes (A & B).
- Record the indicator colour in each tube.
- Place mealworms in a plastic vial and put it into tube A (ensure they don't touch the indicator).
- Seal both tubes and leave for 1 hour.
- Record the indicator colour in each tube after one hour.
Practical 7.13 Aim
- To investigate the change in oxygen levels in a tube with mealworms.
Practical 7.13 Materials
- Boiling tube (2)
- Capillary tubes fitted into stoppers (2)
- Wire gauze
- Ruler
- Soda lime (2 bags)
- Mealworms (2)
Practical 7.14 Aim
- To compare the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapour content of inhaled and exhaled air.
Practical 7.14 Materials
- Gas jars with cover plates (2)
- Measuring cylinder
- Mirror
- Water trough
- Clock/stopwatch
- Dry cobalt chloride paper
- Candle
- Insulating mat
- Burning spoon
- Hydrogencarbonate indicator
Practical 7.14 Procedure
- Cover two gas jars and label them 'inhaled air'.
- Fill a gas jar completely with water in a water trough.
- "Breathing" into a gas jar to fill it with exhaled air, covering the gas jar, removing it from the water, and then labeling it.
- Repeat with another gas jar. (Repeat steps 2-4 to collect another jar of exhaled gas).
- Light a candle and fix it to a burning spoon.
- Open the lid of one jar.
- Submerge the candle into the jar and record how long the flame takes to go out.
- Repeat with the next jar.
Gas Exchange in Humans
- Gas exchange in humans is for oxygen transport to cells and carbon dioxide removal.
- Inhaled air has a higher oxygen concentration and a lower carbon dioxide concentration than exhaled air.
- Exhaled air has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide and water vapor than inhaled air.
Activity 7.2 Human Breathing System
- This activity involves identifying the different parts of the human breathing system using an anatomical model or diagram (trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs, diaphragm, nasal cavity, nostrils, ribs, and intercostal muscles).
- Draw arrows to illustrate airflow during breathing.
Gas Exchange in Air Sacs
- Oxygen from inhaled air enters the blood in capillaries surrounding air sacs.
- Carbon dioxide moves from the blood in capillaries to the air sacs.
- The blood carries carbon dioxide to the air sacs.
Effects of Smoking
- Smoking reduces the efficiency of gas exchange due to tar deposits in air sacs and chemicals reducing blood oxygen capacity.
- Smoking causes various diseases like lung cancer, heart diseases, and other health issues.
