Oxygen Exchange and Transport Oxygen exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface; a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide (the respiratory gases) move in opposite directions across an organism’s respiratory membranes‚ between the air or water of the external environment and the body fluids of the internal environment. Oxygen is needed by cells to extract energy from organic molecules

Structure of Gaseous Exchange Surfaces in Humans‚ Fish‚ Insects and Frogs Gaseous Exchange is a biological process where oxygen diffuses into the body or bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the body or blood stream. This process is different for Humans‚ Fish. Frogs and Insects. Humans: In humans the gas exchange system is known as the Respiratory system. The respiratory surface is the Alveoli located on Bronchial tubes inside of the lungs. The average human adult has about 600 million

Ion Exchange Chromatography Discussion: The first exercise preformed in this lab was ion exchange chromatography. The purpose of this experiment is to separate molecules based on their differences in charge. Since it is based on charge the amino acids in the cation exchange column‚ if negatively charged‚ flow through the column first because they don’t want to bind to the sodium ions. The positively charged ions will elute last at the highest ph because they bind to the negatively charged beads
