Question
Chapter 46, Problem 3TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Some animals like sharks, fishes, and crabs have ventilating and gas exchange system similar to geothermal HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) systems of air-conditioning. These animals take advantage of one-way flow of water over their gills to maximize the gas exchange.

Question 4 of 25
Use the diagram to answer the question.
Some organisms use a single loop circulatory system such as the one shown. How is the transport of gases in such a design different from that in the circulatory systems found in humans?
A.
The transport of gases is more efficient because oxygenated blood mixes with deoxygenated blood.
B.
The transport of gases is less efficient because oxygenated blood mixes with deoxygenated blood.
C.
The transport of gases is more efficient because the distance between the heart and the capillaries is shorter.
D.
The transport of gases is less efficient because the distance between the heart and the capillaries is shorter.

As its body temperature rises, its rate of O2 consumption increases. The warm water, however is likely to have a lower concentration of dissolved O2 than the cool water because the solubility of O2 in water decreases as temperature increases. These two factors taken together, an increase in the fish's rate of O2 consumption and a decrease in the dissolved O2 concentration of its environmental water, can make it difficult for the fish to obtain enough O2 to meet its needs. The two factors can act as a two-pronged trap. Actually, however, the fish may face a three-pronged trap. How is the increase in temperature likely to affect the O2 affinity of the fish's hemoglobin, and how could the effect on hemoglobin add even further to the challenge the fish faces? Does global warming pose concerns of this sort?arrow_forwardDescribe in detail an experimental design that you will use to test a hypothesis about the realtionship between tempature and the rate of cellular respiration. In other words, how will you gather evidence to support your claim/hypothesis? When identifying your design, be sure to address the following: What subject (beans, dogs, fish, plants, etc.) will you choose to test your claim/hypothesis?

None of the above answer choices correctly answers the question.arrow_forwardAs discussed in the Biology and Society section, the delivery of oxygen to muscles is the limiting factor for many athletes. Some athletes seek to improve their athletic performance through blood doping, which can artificially increase athletic capacity. Other athletes achieve the same result by training at high altitude (which promotes the formation of more red blood cells by the bone marrow). If two athletes achieve exactly the same result—one due to injecting her own blood and one due to training at altitude—why do you think the former is considered cheating but the latter is not? What would you do to enforce antidoping rules in sports at all levels (high school, college, Olympic, professional)?arrow_forward
