    Life Sciences: Gaseous exchange

    Grade 11
    Lesson 34

    Presenter: Dr. Grizelda van Wyk


    GASEOUS EXCHANGE

    Breathing
    This is a mechanical process taking oxygen into the lungs.

    Cellular respiration
    A chemical process which takes place in the cells to release
    energy.
    GASEOUS EXCHANGE

    Gaseous exchange
    A physical process which involves the exchange of gases between the air
    and blood in the lungs.
    REQUIREMENTS FOR EFFICIENT GASEOUS EXCHANGE
    RATIO OF SURFACE AREA TO VOLUME

    • All organisms, from simple unicellular to complex multicellular, rely


    on gaseous exchange for survival.

    • The amount of O2 taken up and CO2 released depends on the


    ratio of surface area to volume of the organism.

    • Surface area
    Volume
    RATIO OF SURFACE AREA TO VOLUME
    What does this mean?
    • Surface area is the combination of all the
    exposed surfaces of the organism.
    • The volume is the space taken up by the
    same organism.
    • Therefore, the surface area to volume
    ratio would be the amount of surface an
    organism has relative to its size.
    • In general, the smaller the organism the
    larger the surface area to volume ratio.
    RATIO OF SURFACE AREA TO VOLUME

    Every 1 cm3 is provided Every 1 cm3 is provided


    oxygen by 6 cm2 Surface oxygen by 3 cm2 Surface
    area area, not so efficient

    ACTIVITY

    Animal 1: Surface area =3.5cm2 Animal 2: Surface area =6cm2


    Volume = 7.7 cm3 Volume = 8 cm3

    Which animal has the highest surface area to volume ratio? (5)

    Animal 1: = 3.5cm2 Animal 2: = 6cm2


    7.7 cm3 8 cm3
    = 0.45 = 0.75

    Animal 2 has the highest


    surface area to volume ration
    ACTIVITY

    Animal 1: Surface area =3.5cm2 Animal 2: Surface area =6cm2


    Volume = 7.7 cm3 Volume = 8 cm3

    In which animal will oxygen reach all cells through the process of diffusion? (1)

    Animal 2

    Give a reason for your answer in the previous question. (1)

    It has the highest surface area to volume ratio


    ACTIVITY

    Animal 1: Surface area =3.5cm2 Animal 2: Surface area =6cm2


    Volume = 7.7 cm3 Volume = 8 cm3

    What systems are in place for an animal with a small surface area to volume ratio to ensure that
    all cells receive oxygen in the shortest possible time?
    (2)
    • These animals have a respiratory system
    • and circulatory system.
    ACTIVITY

    Animal 1: Surface area =3.5cm2 Animal 2: Surface area =6cm2


    Volum = 7.7 cm3 Volume = 8 cm3

    Predict what will happen if an animal with a small surface to volume ratio does not have
    specialized systems in place for oxygen to reach all the cells.
    (2)
    • All cells will not receive(sufficient) oxygen
    • and these cells might die.
    ACTIVITY

    Name FOUR structural requirements of an efficient gaseous exchange surface. (4)

     Large
     Thin and permeable
     Moist
     Vascular
     Protected
     Well-ventilated
