Exchange of Gases by Animal Respiratory Organs! In small organisms (e.g.. Amoeba, Paramecium) the exchange of gases occurs through the general surface of the body or the cell membrane. However, larger animals (e.g., birds, mammals) have a much greater requirement of energy. Hence they need much more oxygen than can be met through diffusion across the general surface of the [...]
