Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A): Carbon dioxide (CO2) diffuses faster than oxygen (O2) across the respiratory membrane.
Reason (R): CO2 is 20–25 times more soluble in blood and alveolar fluids than O2.

2. (A) is True but (R) is False.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

Identify the incorrect statement regarding respiratory organs:
1. Lower invertebrates like sponges, coelenterates, flatworms, etc., exchange O2 with CO2 by
simple diffusion over their entire body surface.
2. Earthworms use their moist cuticle as respiratory surface.
3. Insects have a network of tubes (tracheal tubes) to transport atmospheric air within the body.
4. All vertebrates use lungs as respiratory organs.
