Question
Chapter 30.7, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The component which is most likely to transport most of the oxygen in an ice fish.
Concept introduction:
Ice fishes are the fishes with colorless blood, which live in the ocean waters of the Antarctica, and these ice-fish are found in the deep level in the water. The existence of these fishes was reported in the year 1954 by the researcher J.T. Ruud.
