Answer:

Gases move by diffusion within the tracheal system. When the insect is less active the ends of the tracheoles contain fluid. It is where the fluid and gas meet (= the fluid/gas interface), that exchange of gases occurs (oxygen is taken up, carbon dioxide is given off).

Answer:

THE MECHANISM OF GAS EXCHANGE IN INSECTS

Explanation:

Insects breathe through valved openings (spiracles) in their cuticle. Many insects open and close their spiracles in a cyclic pattern (discontinuous gas-exchange cycles, or DGC). ... By keeping the spiracles closed, insects would concentrate CO2 and increase the gradient for outward diffusion of CO2.
