MCQ
Respiration in insects is called direct because:
  • A
    The cells exchange O2/ CO2 directly with the air in the tubes.
  • B
    The tissues exchange O2/ CO2 directly with coelomic fluid.
  • C
    The tissues exchange O2/ CO2 directly with the air outside through body surface.
  • D
    Tracheal tubes exchange O2/ CO2 directly with the haemocoel which then exchange with tissues.

Answer

  1. The cells exchange O2/ CO2 directly with the air in the tubes.

Explanation:

Insects have a network of tubes (tracheal tubes) to transport atmospheric air within the body. These openings lead to trachae. The cells exchange O2/ CO2 directly with the air in the spiracles present on insects body.
