Study Notes
Gas Exchange in Animals
- Gas exchange is not exclusive to plants; animals also participate in this process.
- Practical 7.12 explores the carbon dioxide exchange in animals.
- Aim: Determine carbon dioxide changes in a tube with mealworms.
- Materials: Boiling tube, forceps, cotton thread, test tube rack, mealworm, measuring cylinder (10cm³), hydrogencarbonate indicator, plastic vial with small holes.
- Procedure: Add hydrogencarbonate indicator, place mealworms in a plastic vial, secure the vial within the boiling tube, maintain the setup for an hour, record the color change of the indicator.
Gas Exchange in Animals- Practical 7.13
- Aim: To determine the change in oxygen content in a boiling tube with mealworms.
- Materials: Boiling tube, capillary tubes, wire gauze, ruler, soda lime, mealworms, and 2 bags.
- Procedure: Use capillary tubes with colour markers, insert a mealworm, stopper the tube to prevent air leakage and set up for 20 minutes, measure and record the distances.
Gas Exchange in Humans - Practical 7.14
- Aim: Comparing inhaled and exhaled air.
- Materials: Gas jar, cover plate, measuring cylinder (10cm³), water trough, stopwatch, mirror, dry cobalt chloride paper, candle, insulating mat, gas lighter, burning spoon, hydrogencarbonate indicator.
Gas Exchange In Animals - Inhaled vs. Exhaled Air
- Inhaled air has a higher oxygen content than exhaled air.
- Exhaled air contains more carbon dioxide and water vapor.
- Exhaled air is also warmer than inhaled air.
- Practical 7.14 compares the oxygen and carbon dioxide content.
Gas Exchange Processes
- Animals exchange gases with the environment.
- This occurs in the air sacs, capillaries and tubes.
Effect of Smoking on Gas Exchange
- Smoking damages the respiratory system.
- Smoking introduces over 7,000 chemicals.
- Tar and other chemicals block airways and sacs.
- These chemicals also reduce the efficiency of gas exchange.
- Smoking can significantly lower life expectancy.
