    Mealworm Respiration

    Mealworms, like other animals, take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide during respiration.

    Respiration Gas Exchange

    During respiration, animals take oxygen from the air and release waste gas, carbon dioxide.

    Oxygen and Respiration

    Oxygen is essential for respiration, a process that produces energy in living organisms, including mealworms

    Carbon Dioxide and Respiration

    Carbon dioxide is a waste product released from animals during respiration as a result of converting energy from food.

    Study Notes

    Gas Exchange in Animals

    • Gas exchange occurs in animals as well as plants.
    • Practical 7.12 aims to study the change in carbon dioxide content in animals.

    Materials and Procedure (Practical 7.12)

    • Materials: Boiling tubes, forceps, cotton thread, stopper, test tube rack, measuring cylinder (10 cm³), hydrogencarbonate indicator, plastic vial with small holes, mealworms.
    • Procedure:
      • Add 3 cm³ of hydrogencarbonate indicator to two boiling tubes (A and B).
      • Record the indicator's color in each tube.
      • Place mealworms in a plastic vial, then place the vial inside tube A.
      • Securely stopper both tubes, ensuring no air leaks.
      • Leave the setup for an hour.
      • Record the indicator's color in each tube after one hour.

    Practical 7.13

    • Aim: To study the uptake or release of oxygen in animals.
    • Materials: Boiling tubes, wire gauze, ruler, soda lime, mealworms. Capillary tubes attached to stoppers (with colour marker inside the tubes).

    Discussion (Practical 7.12)

    • Tube B is a control setup to ensure accurate results.
    • Mealworms in tube A release carbon dioxide as indicated by the color change of the indicator (from red to yellow).
    • The indicator in tube B didn't change, showing no carbon dioxide production.

    Discussion (Practical 7.13)

    • The results show how mealworms consume oxygen during respiration and release carbon dioxide.

    Gas Exchange in Humans

    • Air is inhaled and exhaled continuously.
    • Inhaled and exhaled air differ in oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration.

    Practical 7.14 (Comparing Inhaled and Exhaled Air)

    • Aim: To compare oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor content of inhaled and exhaled air.
    • Materials: Gas jar with cover plates, measuring cylinder (10 cm³), mirror, dry cobalt chloride paper, stopwatch, candle, insulating mat, gas lighter, hydrogencarbonate indicator, water trough.
    • Procedure:
      • Cover two gas jars.
      • Label the jars "inhaled air".
      • Fill a gas jar with water.
      • Blow into a drinking straw inserted into the other jar.
      • Repeat until filled with exhaled air.
      • Record the time needed for a lit candle to extinguish in each jar (inhaled/exhaled).
      • Repeat the procedure, but instead of candle, add hydrogencarbonate indicator to a new gas jar.

    Gas Exchange at Air Sacs

    • Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between air in the air sacs and capillaries (blood vessels).
    • Oxygen from inhaled air enters the blood, carrying oxygen to body cells.
    • Carbon dioxide produced by cells is transported to the air sacs.
    • The air sacs are moistened and warmed by the air.

    Difference Between Inhaled and Exhaled Air

    • Inhaled air has a higher oxygen content and lower carbon dioxide content than exhaled air.
    • Exhaled air has a higher water vapor content and warmer temperature than inhaled air.

    Effects of Smoking

    • Smoking damages the respiratory system, reducing gas exchange efficiency.
    • Tar deposits in the lungs, impacting the surface area of air sacs.
    • Carbon monoxide reduces blood's oxygen-carrying capacity.
    • Certain chemicals damage air sacs.

    Harmful Effects of Smoking

    • Smoking causes various diseases like lung cancer, mouth cancer, stomach cancer, bronchitis, and heart disease.
    • Smokers' life expectancy is significantly shorter.
    • Approximately 8 million people die annually from smoking-related diseases worldwide.

    Electronic Cigarettes

    • Electronic cigarettes use a battery-powered device to heat a liquid, producing a vapor that users breathe in.
    • The liquid can contain nicotine, flavourings, and other chemicals that may be harmful.

    Additional Information

    • The lungs are protected by the rib cage and diaphragm.
    • Different animals use different structures for gas exchange (e.g., gills in fish).
