200 Bio: Unit 16--Gas Exchange & Excretion
Ch. 13: Respiration & Excretion
Essential Questions:
 How and why is gas exchange important in maintaining homeostasis?
 How and why is excretion of metabolic waste important in maintaining homeostasis?
 What are the structures of the human gas exchange system and their functions?
 What are the structures of the human excretory system and their functions?
You should be able to:
 Discuss the role of gas exchange in plants and its necessity in maintaining homeostasis.
 Discuss the role of the respiratory system in animals and its necessity in maintaining homeostasis.
 Explore the necessity for having adaptations for maintaining osmotic balance in organisms.
 Describe the process of maintaining osmotic balance and excretion in simple freshwater organisms.
 Describe the function of excretion & the maintenance of osmotic equilibrium in those animals possessing a circulatory system.
 Understand the function of the human excretory system and its necessity for maintaining homeostasis.
 Compare the functioning of the respiratory systems of the animal kingdom including annelids, bony fish, mammals & humans.
