Question

What is meant by aerial respiration

Answer 1

aerial respiration a process of gas exchange occurring in terrestrial and some aquatic organisms, by which oxygen is absorbed from the air and carbon dioxide released. Respiratory surfaces are usually internal (e.g. the MESOPHYLL of leaves, the TRACHEAE of insects, the LUNG BOOKS of spiders and scorpions, and the LUNGS of land vertebrates), although some respiratory organs are external, e.g. the SKIN of amphibia. All surfaces rely on a water layer for gas exchange and may also depend on a blood system for transport of gases to and from distant parts of the body.

Answer 2

Answer:

Aerial respiration is the process of obtaining water from the atmosphere (or dissolved oxygen in water) for use in the respiratory system of an organism.

Explanation:

• This form of respiration is found in a wide range of organisms, including humans.

• Aerial respiration is the process of obtaining water from the atmosphere (or dissolved oxygen in water) for use in the respiratory system of an organism.
• A water layer is required for the oxygen to be absorbed so that the exchange of gases can be regulated (via a concentration gradient).
• For gas exchange, all surfaces rely on a water layer, which may also rely on a blood system to transfer gases to and from distant portions of the body.
