Question
Chapter 42, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The differences between fetal hemoglobin and adult hemoglobin.
Concept introduction:
Respiratory system exhibits a catabolic process. It mainly involves the exchange of gases between oxygen and carbon dioxide. In the exchange process, the respiratory pigments play a keyrole in gaseous exchange. Example: hemoglobin.

B: Describe concurrent exchange in your own words. C: Mammals have dead end sacs called “alveoli” and don’t have the super efficient countercurrent exchange system seen in fish. Why do you think countercurrent exchange is necessary for fish? (hint: think about the difference between where most mammals and fish live).arrow_forwardLike typical fish, the crocodile icefish still need and use oxygen for metabolism.
