Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
The correct answer is the tracheae.
- Tracheae: A network of air-filled tubes that branch throughout the insect's body, allowing direct gas exchange between tissues and the environment.
- Skin: Some gas exchange occurs, but it's not the primary structure.
- Malpighian tubules: Excretory organs, not involved in gas exchange.
- Flame cells: Found in some invertebrates, involved in osmoregulation and excretion, not gas exchange.
