• exhalation
• aeration
• inhalation
• ventilation

In the process of organismic respiration:

• atomospheric oxygen is extracted by an organism and delivered to its cells
• the citric acid cycle takes place in the cells
• carbohydrates are broken down and electrons are transferred to oxygen
• there is an accumulation of lactic acid in the tissues due to the absence of oxygen
• All of the above

Mitochondria use inspired oxygen as an electron acceptor in the process known as:

• pulmonary ventilation
• cellular repiration
• external respiration
• internal respiration
• anaerobic respiration

A respiratory system is needed if an organism is too___to rely on the diffusion of gases through the body's tissues

• small
• long
• thick
• thin
• round

Both aquatic and terrestrial organisms must have___across which gas exchanges can take place

• a respiratory system
• tracheal tubes
• gills and lungs
• stratified squamous epithelial tissue
• a moist surface

All of the following are advantages of gas exchange in air, as compared to gas exchange in water, except:

• air is less dense than water
• air contains a higher concentration of oxygen
• less energy is needed to move air over a gas exchange surface
• oxygen diffuses more slowly through air than water
• None of the above, all are advantages of gas exchange in air

Which of the following is not one of the principal types of surfaces used by animals to facilitate gas exchange?

• bronchial tubes
• body surface
• gills
• lungs
• tracheal tubes

In insects, air enters the tracheal tubes through tiny openings in the body surface called:

• pores
• alveoli
• gills
• spiracles
• opercula

As air is inspired, the nose does all of the following except:

• remove bacteria from the air
• warm the air
• humidify the air
• remove oxygen from the air
• remove dust from the air

The voice box is otherwise known as the:

• larynx
• nasal cavity
• epiglottis
• pharynx
• trachea
