Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The study to suggest the function of discontinuous breathing in the Atlas moth pupa.
Concept introduction:
Insects have spiracles which allows for the exchange of air inside the body of the insects. The example includes the species of the Atlas moth (“Attacus atlas”), in which the scientists have discussed this phenomenon from the larvae to the pupa stage and analyzed the concentration of the oxygen in the tracheae.
