Question 2

The flatworm (Planaria) lives in freshwater ponds. It has a flattened body shape and no specialized respiratory organs such as gills or lungs, meaning its entire moist body surface acts as a gas exchange surface.

Describe the gases that are exchanged across the body surface of the flatworm as a result of aerobic respiration, and state the direction in which they move.
