 What is It

All living organisms need gases to survive. Gases are the most important non-
living thing for the living organisms. Exchanging of gases on earth facilitates all living
organisms to live, grow, develop and perform their specific functions. Gas exchange
is the process where water vapor, and Carbon Dioxide leave and enters plant leaves.
This activity takes place during the respiration and photosynthesis. Respiration is
process of taking up oxygen from air with simultaneous release of carbon dioxide
together, while photosynthesis is where plants use carbon dioxide and water to
produce carbohydrates and release oxygen as the waste product. Respiration
happens during day and night, supplying a source of energy for the plant.
Photosynthesis takes place only in the presence of sunlight; thus it ceases at night.

Gas Exchange in Animals

Breathing is a physical process of bringing air in and releasing gaseous
material into and out of the body. Respiration is the whole cycle of taking oxygen into
the body and releasing the carbon dioxide as waste product.

Animals have different respiratory structures used for gas exchange.

Important respiratory structures include the gills, the tracheal system, the skin, and
the lungs. Gills are used by fish and other marine species to absorb oxygen trapped
in water and filter carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream. Fish and other marine
species have gills that are used in water to absorb dissolved oxygen. When the oral
valve opens in their mouth, the water draws into the buccal cavity. The opercular
cavity, which contains the gills, then closes. When the oral valve is closed, the
operculum (gill cover) opens the gills to force the water out. The blood in the
capillaries flows into the gill filament in a direction contrary to the flow of water. This
opposite flow allows countercurrent movement, the movement of materials moving
in opposite directions between two fluids. The oxygen molecules thus diffuse from
water (higher concentration of O2) into the blood (lower concentration of O2). This
mechanism maximizes the efficiency of gas exchange, since all fluids flow in the same
direction, the difference in concentration will rapidly decrease. Among insects the
tracheal system is normal. This mechanism does not require the direct intervention
of the circulatory system for transportation of O2 and CO2 because the air will pass
directly to the cells. There are pairs of openings called spiracles in each segment of
the insect's abdomen, where air enters and exits the body. These openings connect
to the tubular trachea network which eventually branches into tracheoles. Once the
oxygen enters the tracheoles it diffuses into a neighboring body cell's cytoplasm. At
the other side, CO2 that is produced as a waste product diffuses through the tracheal
system out of the cell and ultimately out of the body. The air sac which serves as an
air reservoir is another part of the tracheal system. Moreover, Amphibians,
earthworms, and some turtles respire through a process called cutaneous respiration
and breathe through their skin. When submerged in water or damp areas they
breathe through their skin. Keeping their skin moist is essential for them to enable
effective cutaneous respiration. Its skin secretes mucus through the mucus glands
to prevent desiccation. Cutaneous respiration also occurs through concurrent
exchange, where the direction of the absorbed oxygen is directly opposite the
circulation of the blood in the skin. Further, some animals, including amphibians
and earthworms, may use their skin to pass gasses between the outside environment
6
and the circulatory system due to the capillary network below the skin. In mammals
the lungs are the main respiratory organs. Before entering the lungs, the air must
go through different organs during respiration. This travels into a windpipe called
trachea when air is inhaled. Instead the trachea separates the air into channels
called bronchial tubes or bronchi at the lungs. The air travels into smaller airways
called the bronchioles with tiny balloon-like air sacs at their ends before they enter
the lungs. Surrounding the alveoli are capillaries, a network of tiny blood vessels.
These vessels are the gas-exchange sites. After the deoxygenated blood in the
capillaries absorbs the oxygen from the walls of the alveoli, it travels to the heart
which in effect pumps it across the body to supply the cells with oxygen. In
comparison, the blood carries CO2 released by the cells back to the lungs where it is
eliminated by exhalation.
Mechanism of Gas Exchange in Animals
Animals need oxygen for their metabolism. 21% of air is made up of oxygen.
Respiration requires oxygen. The function of the respiratory system of the animals is
to supply oxygen for the metabolic needs to the cells to remove one of the waste
materials for cellular metabolism, carbon dioxide. Gas exchange in animals refers to
the exchange of respiratory gases-absorption of molecular oxygen and carbon dioxide
discharge. This method follows the concept of diffusion, by moving molecules from a
high concentration region to a low concentration region. Air first enters the body
through the mouth or nose, quickly moves to the pharynx (throat), passes through
the larynx (voice box), enters the trachea, which branches into left and right bronchi
within the lungs and further divides into smaller and smaller branches called
bronchioles. The smallest bronchioles end in tiny air sacs, called alveoli, which inflate
during inhalation, and deflate during exhalation. Gas exchange is the delivery of
oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from
the bloodstream to the lungs. It occurs between the alveoli in the lungs and network
of blood vessels called capillaries located in the walls of the alveoli. The walls of the
alveoli share a membrane with the capillaries in which oxygen and carbon dioxide
move freely between the respiratory system and the bloodstream. Oxygen molecules
attach to red blood cells, which travel back to the heart. At the same time, the carbon
dioxide molecules in the alveoli are blown out of the body with the next exhalation.
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Transport
Oxygen diffuses down a pressure gradient from the lungs into the blood
plasma to red blood cells to binds to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin gives up its oxygen in
tissues where partial pressure of oxygen is low, blood is warmer, partial pressure of
carbon dioxide is higher and pH is lower; these four conditions occur in tissues with
high metabolisms. Moreover, Carbon Dioxide diffuses down its partial pressure
gradient from the tissues into the blood plasma and red blood cells to air in alveoli.
7% is dissolved plasma, 23% binds with hemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin
and 70% is in bicarbonate form. Bicarbonate and carbonic acid formation are
enhanced by the enzyme carbonic anhydrates, which is in the red blood cells.

Respiratory Problems

Asthma is characterized as a severe, chronic respiratory condition due to

inflammation of the airways causing difficulty breathing. Symptoms of asthma
include dry cough, wheezing, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath. Chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an umbrella term that encompasses
several respiratory illnesses that cause breathlessness, or the inability to exhale
normally. People usually develop symptoms, including shortness of breath, and
7
usually cough up sputum (lung mucus), particularly in the morning. Chronic
bronchitis is a form of COPD emphasized by a chronic cough. Usually people cough
up sputum (mucus from the lungs), especially in the morning. Emphysema is
another type of COPD which is a severe respiratory disease. Smoking the most
common cause. Many suffering from emphysema have difficulty breathing out
oxygen from their lungs. Cigarette smoke destroys the air sacs in the lungs to the
point that they cannot repair themselves anymore. Lung Cancer this cancer is
difficult to detect, with the ability to develop in any part of the lungs. The cancer
most often develops near the air sacs in the main portion of the lungs. Within the
lungs, DNA mutations allow irregular cells to multiply, causing unchecked
development of abnormal cells or tumors. These tumors interact with normal lung
functions. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic respiratory disease caused by a defective gene
which produces thick and sticky mucus which obstructs tubes and passages. This
mucus induces frequent and harmful lung infections as well as pancreatic
obstructions that block vital enzymes from breaking down the body 's nutrients.
Pneumonia is a common lung disease caused by an infection in the air sacs in the
lungs. The infections can be bacterial, viral or fungal. Most people can recover in one
to three weeks, but for certain people, pneumonia can be extremely serious and even
life-threatening. Pleural effusion is a collection of fluid between the lung and the
chest wall in what is called the pleural space. The fluid can collect for a variety of
reasons, including pneumonia, cancer or congestive heart failure. Patients notice
symptoms of increasing chest discomfort and shortness of breath. COVID-19 is a
respiratory illness that belongs to a large family of viruses called coronaviruses. This
type of virus infects humans and animals, but this new strain has not been seen in
humans before 2019. The virus seems to have originated in Wuhan, China. The virus
spread mainly from person-to-person between people who are in close contact with
one another (within about 6 feet). Like other viruses, COVID-19 spreads through
droplets released when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. The primary
symptoms are cough, shortness of breath and fever.

Gas Exchange in Plants

Green plants require a supply of carbon dioxide and a way of disposing of

oxygen to carry on the photosynthesis. Plant cells need
oxygen and a means of disposing of carbon dioxide (just
like animal cells do) to carry on cellular respiration.
Unlike animals, plants have no specialized organs for
gas exchange. During the day plants will produce more
oxygen via photosynthesis than they consume during
respiration. Therefore, there is net production of oxygen
and net consumption of carbon dioxide. However, at
night when plants are not photosynthesizing there will
be a net production of carbon dioxide and consumption
Plant Stomata of oxygen. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in
the leaf (as well as the loss of water vapor in transpiration) occurs through pores
called stomata. In small plants such as mosses, leaves and other structures are very
thin, and gases can move in and out via diffusion. In more complex plants oxygen
and carbon dioxide is exchanged through the stomata on leaves, stems and roots.
Stomata can regulate gas exchange by controlling when they are open and when they
are enclosed. Stomata are most abundant on the leaves of the plant. This pore is
bordered by two cells known as guard cells which control when the stomata is opened
and closed. The opening and closing of stomata can be in response to water moving
in or out of the cell When water moves into the cell, the turgor of the cell increases

8
causing them to lengthen and open the stomata. Opening and closing of the stomata
can also be in response to light and low internal carbon dioxide levels. For aquatic
plants, water plants will have special adaptations that allow them to exchange gases
within their moist environment. Some plants such as lily pads have leaves that float
giving them ready access to air. Mangroves have pneumatophores also known as
aerial roots that grow above the water’s surface. Submerged aquatic plants can
exchange gases with water across their epidermis.

Plants Transport System

In plants the transportation system consists of bundles of tubes in the stem,
branches and roots. Such tubes are classified as xylem and phloem. The main
function of xylem is to bring water and minerals extracted from the roots to the rest
of the plant body. While, the phloem transports the food manufactured in the leaves
to all parts of the plant.

Transport of Water and Minerals

Plants require water to produce food through the cycle of photosynthesis and
minerals for protein production. Therefore, a plant absorbs water and minerals
through the roots from the soil and bears other sections such as base, leaves, flowers
etc. It is through two kinds of elements of xylem tissue called, xylem vessels and
tracheid that water and minerals move from roots of a plant to its leaves.
Xylem Vessels. is a long tube composed of dead cells that are joined end to
end. It is a non-living tube that extends from plant roots and passes through the
stem, touching every leaf. The end walls of the cells are separated to create an open
channel. Xylem vessels do not have cytoplasm or nuclei and the walls of the vessels
are made of cellulose or lignin. Transporting water and minerals, xylem vessel also
provides strength to the stem and keeps it upright. This is because lignin is very hard
16
and strong. Wood is made of lignified xylem vessels. Xylem vessels have pits in their
cell walls where lignin is not deposited. Either xylem vessel or both xylem vessel and
tracheid transport water in flowering plants.
Tracheids. In non-flowering plants, tracheids are the only water conducting
tissues. These are dead cells with lignified walls with no open ends. They are long,
thin and spindle shaped cells. They have pits in them, and it is through pits only
that water flows from one tracheid to another. All the plants have tracheid in them.

Mechanism of transport of water and minerals in a plant

Root hair absorbs water from the soil which contains dissolved minerals. Root
hair is in close contact with the film of water present between the particles in the
soil. Water that contains minerals enters the root hair and goes through the cycle of
osmosis from cell to cell, entering epidermis, root cortex, endodermis and root xylem.
Xylem vessels of the root relate to the xylem vessel of the stem of a plant. The water
enters from root xylem vessel to the stem xylem vessel and further reaches into the
leaves of the plant from petiole. The plant uses only one or two per cent of the water
in photosynthesis. The remaining water is lost in air as water vapor.

Water is sucked up by the xylem vessel

The pressure at the top of the plant (in the leaves) is low whereas pressure at
the bottom of the plant is high. It is due to transpiration that the pressure is low at
the top of a plant. It is because of low pressure at the top of the plant that water
flows up the xylem vessel into the leaves of a plant. transpiration is continuous
evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant. The leaves of a plant have tiny pores
called stomata. It is through them that the water evaporates into the air. This reduces
the pressure at the top of xylem vessels and thus water flows up into them.

Transport of food and other substances

The food that is produced by the photosynthesis cycle in a plant's leaves must
be transferred to other sections such as base, roots, branches etc. Hence this food is
transported through a kind of tubing called phloem to other parts of the plant. The
transport of food from leaves to other parts of a plant is called translocation. The food
made by the leaves is in the form of simple sugar. Phloem is present in all the parts
of a plant.

Phloem contains Sieve Tubes

Phloem is a long tube made of many living cells joined end to end. The living
cells of phloem are called sieve tubes. The end walls of cells in the phloem have sieve
plates which have tiny holes in them. It is through these holes that the food passes
along the phloem tubes. Sieve tubes contain cytoplasm in them but have no nucleus.
Each sieve tube cell has a companion cell which has a nucleus and many other
organelles. The cell wall of sieve tubes contains cellulose but no lignin. The food is
made by the mesophyll cells of a leaf and from there it enters the sieve tubes of the
phloem. These phloem tubes are interconnected and once the food reaches the
phloem tube of a leaf, it is then transported to all other parts of a plant. The transport
of food is necessary because every part of a plant needs food for: energy, building its
parts, maintaining its life. Other substance like hormones made in the tips of roots
and shoots are also transported through phloem tubes.
17
Mechanism of transport of food in a plant
It is by using the ATP energy that the food made in a plant's leaves is loaded
into phloem tissue sieve tubes. Then by the process of osmosis water enters sieve
tubes that contain sugar, and this raises pressure in phloem tissue. This high
pressure produced in phloem tissue moves the food to all other parts of a plant
having less pressure. In this way food is transported to all parts of a plant through
phloem tissue.

Xylem Phloem Tracheid

Animals Transport System

The main transport system for animals is the circulatory system. The
circulatory system plays a central role in an organism’s survival. The human
circulatory system consists of the heart, blood, and a closed structure system called
blood vessels that includes the arteries, veins, and capillaries. The circulatory
system's main functions are to transfer the nutrients and oxygen to all body cells
and to transport waste products to the liver, kidneys and lungs.

This system works through diffusion—the movement of molecules from an

area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. However, diffusion only
occurs over short distances such as between blood and air in the lungs. In terms of
the distribution of blood throughout the human body, the process of bulk flow takes
place. Bulk flow is the movement of the blood from an area of high pressure to an
area of low pressure through the action of the heart that pumps the blood and
pressurizes it to flow. This process allows a rapid transport of blood in all parts of
the body.

Organs in Circulatory System

The heart is the muscle that pumps blood
throughout the body. It consists of four
chambers. The top two chambers are called atria
while the bottom two are called ventricles. The
atria are the receiving chambers for blood
returning to the heart. The blood from the
circulation enters the right atrium while the
reoxygenated blood from the lungs enters
the left atrium. The atria are thin-walled
chambers because they need to contract only
minimally to blood into the ventricles. On the
Human Heart other hand, ventricles have thicker walls because

18
they need to contract harder to pump blood out of the heart and in to the circulation.
The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary trunk while the left ventricle
ejects blood into the aorta.
The delivery system of the heart is separated into two circuits: the pulmonary
and the systemic circuits. The pulmonary circuit, supplied by the right side of the
heart, receives the returning blood and pumps the blood to the lungs for
reoxygenation and dispatch of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the systemic
circuit, supplied by the left side of the heart, transports the oxygenated blood to the
entire body.
The Blood Vessels are responsible for the transport of blood throughout the
body. There are three types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries
carry oxygenated blood away from the heart while veins carry deoxygenated blood
towards the heart. Capillaries are tiny, thin-walled vessels that allow water,
nutrients, and oxygen from the blood to move to the surrounding tissues and allow
wastes to move out in the opposite direction.
The Blood is a special connective tissue that distributes essential nutrients,
including oxygen while collecting wastes, such as carbon dioxide. It consists of a
yellowish fluid called plasma, which contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and
platelets. The red blood cells have hemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen to
the different tissues in the body. This protein also releases the carbon dioxide picked
up from body tissues.
The Path of the Circulatory System
The deoxygenated blood passes through the right side of the heart which
pumps it into large vessels called pulmonary arteries. It then moves into the lungs
where it is 'cleaned' as the carbon dioxide is exchanged with oxygen. This process of
exchange between the carbon dioxide and oxygen is called oxygenation. The
oxygenated blood travels back into the heart through the pulmonary veins.
The oxygenated blood is pumped into the largest blood vessel and the main artery in
the human body called aorta. Before the blood leaves the aorta, it passes through
the small arteries. Then finally, it passes through the capillaries which distribute it
to all the tissues of the body. Oxygen and nutrients are delivered to these tissues.
Simultaneously, the waste products of the cells are carried away by the blood. As
soon as all the oxygen is used up, the blood goes into the veins and travels back into
the heart.
Circulation of the Blood Throughout the Heart
Superior Vena cava Right Atrium … Tricuspid Valve Right Ventricle
Left Atrium Lungs Pulmonary Artery Pulmonary Valve
Left Ventricle Aorta Rest of the Body

Closed and Open Circulatory Systems

In a closed circulatory system, the circulatory fluid or blood is limited within
vessels. The heart pumps blood into large vessels, branching into smaller vessels and
into different organs. Other animals with closed circulatory system include squids
and earthworms. Humans have also a closed circulatory system. Conversely, in an
open circulatory system, the circulatory fluid called haemolymph coats the body
19
cells. The heart pumps the haemolymph through circulatory vessels and goes into
the sinuses or the spaces surrounding the organs. Arthropods such as grasshoppers
have open circulatory systems.

The circulatory Systems Works with Respiratory System

The circulatory system and respiratory systems work together to retain oxygen
in the body and extract carbon dioxide from it. Pulmonary circulation promotes the
external respiration process.: Deoxygenated blood flows into the lungs. This absorbs
oxygen from tiny air sacs (the alveoli) and releases to exhale carbon dioxide. Systemic
circulation makes internal respiration easier: oxygenated blood passes through the
rest of the body to capillaries. The blood diffuses oxygen into cells and absorbs
carbon dioxide.
