Explain how the grasshopper is adapted for moving large amounts of air into its body

Solution

In grasshopper the circulatory and the respiratory systems are separate. the exchange of gases is direct from the atmosphere . The respiration is said to be the tracheal respiration . The trachea open into large balloon like air sacs internally which can hold air externally these trachea open into paired structures known as the spiracles . The movement of the abdominal muscles help in the intake of air by the insect and also the opening and closing of the spiracles control the entry and exit of the air .
