internal
two problems with size?
uptake area and diffusion distance
what is the theroretical size limit for diffusion exchange?
1mm
explained the gas exchange of 4 linked process for multicellular animal?
comes in through convection to the gas exchanger, diffuses across the gas exchanger and then convection through blood circulation to the cell which it then diffuses again into the cell and mitochondira. 2 diffusion steps, 2 bulk transport steps

explain bimodal
lungfish- have lungs and gills. when the water around them is toxic they will use their lungs, but when water is not toxic, they will use their gills
saturated concentration under specified conditions
solubility
solubility depends on what 3 things?
nature of gas or medium, temperature, other solutes present
