Description
Active body cells require lots of oxygen for energy production in aerobic respiration as we learnt in Lecture IV. A major by product of aerobic respiration is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid and hence disturbs acid base balance in the body. Accumulation of carbon dioxide is therefore toxic to the cells as it may cause acidosis. Living cells have mechanisms of intake of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide. The two gases are known as respiratory gases. In small organisms such as protozoans the body surface provides an adequate surface area for the exchange of respiratory gases by diffusion. In mammals and other higher animals there are specialized systems for exchange of respiratory gases.

Design & Analysis of Algorithm

We study data structures so that we can learn to write more efficient programs. But
why must programs be efficient when new computers are faster every year? The
reason is that our ambitions grow with our capabilities. Instead of rendering efficiency needs obsolete, the modern revolution in computing power and storage capability merely raises the efficiency stakes as we computerize more complex tasks.
The quest for program efficiency need not and should not conflict with sound
design and clear coding. Creating efficient programs has little to do with “programming tricks” but rather is based on good organization of information and good algorithms. A programmer who has not mastered the basic principles of clear design
is not likely to write efficient programs. Conversely, “software engineering” cannot
be used as an excuse to justify inefficient performance. Generality in design can
and should be achieved without sacrificing performance, but this can only be done
if the designer understands how to measure performance and does so as an integral
part of the design and implementation process. Most computer science curricula
recognize that good programming skills begin with a strong emphasis on fundamental software engineering principles. Then, once a programmer has learned the
principles of clear program design and implementation, the next step is to study the
effects of data organization and algorithms on program efficiency
