Study Notes
Gas Exchange in Animals
- Gas exchange occurs in animals as well as plants
- Practical 7.12 investigated the change in carbon dioxide content in a boiling tube with mealworms.
- The aim was to find the change in carbon dioxide content.
- Materials included boiling tubes, forceps, cotton thread, test-tube rack, mealworms, measuring cylinder (10 cm³), and hydrogencarbonate indicator.
- Add 3cm³ of hydrogencarbonate indicator to two boiling tubes, record the colour.
- Place mealworms in a plastic vial with holes, secure in one tube (A).
- Seal both tubes, and leave for an hour. Record the colour change in the indicator.
- In tube A, the indicator changed from red to yellow, indicating carbon dioxide production, while tube B (control) remained red.
- Mealworms release carbon dioxide during respiration.
Practical 7.13
- To find out the change in oxygen content in a boiling tube with mealworms.
- Materials: boiling tubes, capillary tubes, wire gauze, ruler, soda lime, 2 bags, and mealworms.
- Capillary tubes were fitted with colour markers.
- The system used soda lime to absorb carbon dioxide.
- Set up the apparatus as instructed.
- Monitor the movement of the colour marker over time.
- The colour marker moved in direction because the oxygen was consumed, causing a pressure difference.
Gas Exchange in Humans
- Humans have a well-developed breathing system for gas exchange, allowing oxygen supply to body cells for respiration. It removes carbon dioxide.
- The activity investigated the differences between inhaled and exhaled air.
Gas Exchange at the Air Sacs
- Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between air and blood in the air sacs.
- Inhaled air enters the air sacs, oxygen moves into the blood, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood to the air sacs.
- Blood carries oxygen to body cells for respiration.
- Blood carries carbon dioxide to the air sacs to be excreted from the body during exhalation.
- Air sacs are moist and warm the air.
Effects of Smoking on Gas Exchange
- Smoking introduces over 7000 chemicals into the body.
- Chemicals damage the breathing system, reducing the efficiency of gas exchange.
- Tar deposits in lungs, limiting the surface area of air sacs
- Carbon monoxide reduces oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, reducing oxygen intake.
- Chemicals damage the air sacs, further decreasing the surface area for gas exchange.
Harmful Effects of Smoking (Longer Term)
- Smoking harms nearly every part of the body.
- Various cancers, heart diseases, and strokes are associated with smoking.
- Life expectancy is reduced by approximately 10 years for smokers.
- Over 8 million deaths worldwide are attributed to smoking-related diseases.
Effects of Smoking on Pig Lungs
- Cigarette smoke, when forced into the pig lungs, causes them to darken and the trachea lining darkens.
- The presence of brown substances in the tissue of smoking pig lungs, absent in non-smoking pig lungs, indicates damage.
- The colour change demonstrates damage to the respiratory system by smoking.
Other Aspects
- Different animals use different structures for gas exchange (gills, external gills, skin).
- The large surface area of air sacs in human lungs increases the efficiency of gas exchange, similar to a badminton court.
- Electronic cigarettes are also harmful and banned in Hong Kong due to the harmful constituents in the vapour.
- Hong Kong has policies to discourage smoking, including indoor smoking bans, health warnings, and increased tobacco tax.
