Respiration in insects is called direct because:
  • ✓
    The cells exchange $O_2/ \ce{CO_2}$ directly with the air in the tubes.
  • B
    The tissues exchange $O_2/ \ce{CO_2}$ directly with coelomic fluid.
  • C
    The tissues exchange $O_2/ \ce{CO_2}$ directly with the air outside through body surface.
  • D
    Tracheal tubes exchange $O_2/ \ce{CO_2}$ directly with the haemocoel which then exchange with tissues.
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
The cells exchange $O_2/ \ce{CO_2}$ directly with the air in the tubes.
Insects have a network of tubes $($tracheal tubes$)$ to transport atmospheric air within the body. These openings lead to trachae. The cells exchange $O_2/ \ce{CO_2}$ directly with the air in the spiracles present on insects body.
