Question
Chapter 42.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: How gas exchange requirements of an earthworm are responsible for their coming out on the earth’s surface after heavy rains.
Concept introduction:
The process of gaseous exchange between the circulatory system and the environment is called respiration or respiratory exchange. For earthworms as well as some amphibians, the skin serves as the respiratory organ.

Using Fick's law, identify the MAIN factor that is different between these two environments? a) Everything is different in water b) Barrier thickness c) Diffusion coefficient d) Diffusion rate 2. Gills are used by most aquatic invertebrates for gas exchange. What are some of the characteristics they have that make them and ideal gas exchange organ? Select all that apply. a) They are highly folded (increasing surface area) b) They are never used in hypoxic environments (increasing concentration gradient) c) They are only possessed by small organisms (decreasing length) d) They are thin-walled (decreasing barrier thickness).arrow_forward
