Respiration & Gas Exchange

LO

1)To describe the structure of the gas STARTER

exchange system
2)To explain the function of the gas
exchange system What is
respiration?
Respiration is the
release of energy from
food substances in living
cells.
It is a series of reactions
that are controlled by
enzymes.
What are the uses of energy in living organisms?

Structure of the gas exchange system
1.why do we need a gas
exchange system?
2.Annotate the diagram
 Respiration and gas exchange 1
Write down as many ways that you think of that surfaces in the
body are adapted for gas exchange
 Respiration and gas exchange 1
Surfaces in the body are adapted for gas exchange by:

● Being thin, reducing the diffusion distance

● Being close to an efficient transport system e.g.
capillaries
● Having a large surface area, so diffusion can occur quickly
● Having a good supply of oxygen
