QUESTIONS LIST: gills : respiratory organs in aquatic animals that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the water and the bloodstream, guard cells : specialized cells in plant leaves that regulate the opening and closing of stomata, thereby controlling gas exchange, alveoli : tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs between the air and the bloodstream, respiration : the process by which organisms exchange gases with their environment, typically involving the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide, photosynthesis : the process by which plants and other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy, producing oxygen as a byproduct, diffusion : the process by which gases move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, allowing for gas exchange to occur, stomata : small openings in plant leaves and stems that allow for the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, with the surrounding environment, capillaries : tiny blood vessels where gas exchange occurs between the bloodstream and tissues in both animals and plants, lungs : organs responsible for gas exchange in animals, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled, bronchioles : small air passages in the lungs that lead to the alveoli, facilitating gas exchange in animals, trachea : also known as the windpipe, it is a tube that carries air to and from the lungs in animals.
