Chapter 42, Problem 9TYPSS
Summary Introduction
To review:
The way in which the Antarctic icefish transport oxygen in their blood in the absence of hemoglobin.
Introduction:
The Antarctic icefish are the only vertebrates in which the red blood cells (RBCs), as well as the hemoglobin (oxygen-binding protein), are absent. They live in cold water habitats.
