True or False: By comparing the evaginated respiratory structures of aquatic organisms (e.g. gills, skin folds) with the invaginated respiratory structures of terrestrial organisms (below), we can conclude that invaginated lungs and tracheal systems are an adaptation to terrestrial life.
At various points throughout Earth’s geological history, atmospheric and oceanic oxygen levels have been different than they are today. If future oxygen levels in the ocean become higher than they are today, what effect do you think this will have on the relative frequencies with which ram ventilation or buccopharyngeal pumping are used by aquatic vertebrates? Please explain your answer.
Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: Metabolic rate is relatively low in (a) youth, (b) physical exercise, (c) old age, (d) fever..
