    Study Notes

    Gas Exchange in Animals

    • Gas exchange is a vital process for animals, not just plants.
    • Practical 7.12 studies carbon dioxide uptake/release in mealworms.

    Practical 7.12 Aim

    • To determine changes in carbon dioxide levels in mealworms.

    Practical 7.12 Materials

    • Boiling tubes (2)
    • Forceps (2)
    • Cotton thread (1)
    • Test tube rack (1)
    • Measuring cylinder (10 cm³) (1)
    • Mealworm (1)
    • Hydrogen carbonate indicator (1)
    • Plastic vial with small holes (1)

    Practical 7.12 Procedure

    • Add 3cm³ of hydrogen carbonate indicator to two boiling tubes (A & B).
    • Note the initial colour of the indicator.
    • Place mealworms in a plastic vial with holes and insert into tube A (ensuring mealworms don't touch indicator).
    • Seal both tubes and leave for an hour.
    • Record the colour change in each tube after 1 hour.

    Practical 7.13 Aim

    • To study the uptake or release of oxygen in mealworms.

    Practical 7.13 Materials

    • Boiling tubes (2)
    • Capillary tubes fitted into stoppers (2)
    • Wire gauze (2)
    • Ruler (1)
    • Mealworms (2)
    • Soda lime (2 bags)

    Practical 7.13 Procedure

    • Use the given apparatus and follow the instructions to conduct the experiment.
    • Measure the changes in the experiment tubes.

    Practical 7.14 Aim

    • To compare the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapour content of inhaled and exhaled air.

    Practical 7.14 Materials

    • Gas jar with cover plates (2)
    • Forceps (1 pair)
    • Measuring cylinder (10cm³) (1)
    • Mirror (1)
    • Water trough (1)
    • Dry cobalt chloride paper (1)
    • Stopwatch (1)
    • Candle (1)
    • Insulating mat (1)
    • Hydrogencarbonate indicator (1)

    Section Summary

    • Exhaled air contains less oxygen, and more carbon dioxide and water vapour than inhaled air
    • Gas exchange supplies oxygen to body cells and removes carbon dioxide.
    • The exchange in humans happens in the air sacs of the lungs.
    • Smoking reduces gas exchange efficiency and harms health.
