Question on: JAMB Biology - 2024
Which of the following structures enables the exchange of gases in insects?
A
skin
B
tracheae
C
Malpighian tubules
D
flame cell
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
The correct answer is the tracheae.* Tracheae: These are a network of air-filled tubes that branch throughout the insect's body, allowing for direct gas exchange between the tissues and the environment.* Skin: While some gas exchange can occur across the skin, it is not the primary structure for gas exchange in insects.* Malpighian tubules: These are excretory organs and are not involved in gas exchange.* Flame cells: These are found in some invertebrates and are involved in osmoregulation and excretion, not gas exchange.
