Gas Exchange

Salmonella bacteria is a single celled organism and is constantly in contact with the external environment it lives in. This means the gas exchange occurs through diffusion between the membranes of the salmonella bacteria and host cell. The diffusion in a movement of molecules from a high concentration to a place where the molecules are in low concentration. Since the salmonella bacteria is close to the host cells the gas exchange occurs easily.
