    Gas exchange is the diffusion of gases across a semi-permeable membrane. Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen, O2, is taken into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide, CO2, is released. All organisms carry out gas exchange as they must exchange gases with the environment in order to respire. Cellular respiration occurs as cells use the energy to survive. Oxygen is needed by cells to take out ATP from organic molecules, while simultaneously carbon dioxide is produced and must be disposed. In

    Comparisons: The tracheal tubes of insects compared to that of the fish’s gills or the mammal’s lungs are structured in a way that makes the gaseous exchange function most efficiently. Each body cell in the insect is connected to a tracheole and the gases diffuse directly with the respiring cell, whereas in mammals and fish, the oxygen gas have to be diffused into the blood stream where it is then transported and diffused into the living cells (carbon dioxide is diffused out of the cell into the

    anglerfish’s circulatory system consists of the heart, the gills and blood vessels. The heart is made up of two main chambers, the atrium and ventricle. Deoxygenated blood (blood that has flowed through the body and the oxygen from it been used) is pumped from the atrium to the ventricle. The ventricle then pumps the blood through the conus and to the gills. The conus and the sinus are extensions of the heart. When the blood reaches the gill capillaries, oxygen is diffused into it and the blood continues

    energy. Breathing is one of the physical process that acquire fibrous movements that take oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from gas exchange surfaces. Gas Exchange surfaces enable diffusion to and out of cells. These include skin of earthworms, gills of fishes, and lungs of mammals. For diffusion and Gas Exchange to occur here they have to have a large surface area dependent on the size of the organism. They are thin therefore
