Question
Chapter 48.2, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The relation between the small size of an insect with the structure of the respiratory system.
Introduction: Insects lies in the phylum of “arthropoda”. It represents the biggest phylum of the animal kingdom. The purpose of the respiratory system is to exchange the gases from the body of an organism with the gases in environment.
