How does an aquatic animal offset the decrease in oxygen levels in warmer water? A. by increasing the flow of oxygen over the gills by ventilation B. by using oxygenated blood within capillaries called lamellae C. by breathing air off the top of the water D. by entering a state of torpor to save energy and reduce metabolic rate
