Study Notes

Respiration and Gas Exchange

  • Oxygen (O2) is essential for organisms to break down nutrients, particularly glucose, to generate energy.
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a byproduct of these catabolic reactions and is considered harmful if accumulated.
  • Continuous supply of O2 to cells is crucial, and CO2 produced must be expelled from the body.
  • The process of exchanging O2 from the environment for CO2 produced by cells is termed breathing or respiration.
  • Physical sensation of chest movement during breathing can be felt by placing hands on the chest.

Mechanisms of Breathing

  • Breathing mechanisms differ across animal groups, influenced by habitat and level of biological organization.
  • Lower invertebrates, such as sponges and coelenterates, exhibit simpler respiratory processes.
  • The complexity of respiratory organs correlates with the organism's environmental adaptations and structural organization.
