LU 7: RESPIRATION

-
Oxygen Transportation
oxygen + haemoglobin = oxyhaemoglobin 
-
-
-
Cellular Respiration: Process - oxidizing food molecules (glucose) to produce - carbon dioxide, water and energy
-
Different nutrients, Different chemical reaction

-
Rate of Difusssion: Fick's Law of Diffusion

To increase R:
:arrow_up: Increase area (A) of respiratory surface
:arrow_up: Increase concentration difference (∆P) on either side of resp. surface
:arrow_down: Decrease distance (D) gases travel
Gas Exchange in different animals
Small animal: Have large surface area over volume to achieve sufficient gas exchange
Larger animal: Need specialised resp. organ to deliver oxygen over the body
