Question
Chapter 34.2, Problem 3TC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the fish survive in those conditions, if a fish swims into sewage water which is highly contaminated, where bacteria’s have used up nearly all the available oxygen from the water
Introduction:
Fish have an advanced transport system within the lamellae which maintains the concentration gradient across the fish lamellae. In this system, water flows past the gills in the direction opposite to the blood.

1) Electric eels are dependent on air breathing. They take up oxygen from the air that they gulp into their mouths and then blow back out. In what way are their mouths similar to gills?
A) They both bring oxygen against its concentration gradient from the lower levels in the water or air to the higher levels in the blood.
B) They both have large numbers of capillary beds very close to the skin.
C) They both have large numbers of microvilli in their respiratory membrane to provide ATP for active transport of oxygen.
D) ALL of these are correct.
2) Which of these accurately describes the buccopharyngeal pumping mechanism teleosts use to breathe?

- a) Gill lice infections result in lowered surface area to volume ratios in fish gill structure. True False Levels of carbon dioxide in the blood will not differ between infected and uninfected fish. Question options: True False The branched nature of capillaries in fish gills increases surface area, and thus the efficiency of exchange into/out of the blood stream lation. Question opti True Falsearrow_forwardO The toxin causes inappropriate firing of neurons leading to periods of rapid twitching that infected individuals experience as summation leading to tetanus. QUESTION 6 Mammalian lungs are very different in structure compared to amphibian lungs. The lungs of mammals have highly complex branching patterns of airways. The lungs of amphibians are simpler and more sac-like. Over all, the lungs of mammals are capable of much greater rates of gas exchange compared to amphibians. Why is this? O The more complex structure provides more surface area across which gas exchange can occur. O A complex structure means that gases have more contact time with gases compared to a simpler structure. O Mammalian lungs are usually much bigger relative to their bodies compared to amphibian lungs. O The respiratory membranes of mammals are able to diffuse gases across them much faster than amphibians. QUESTION 7 Click Save and Submit to save and submit.
