Select all correct choices. More oxygen would diffuse from the water into the fish's bloodstream. Less oxygen would diffuse from the water into the fish's bloodstream. More carbon dioxide would diffuse out of the fish's bloodstream into the water. Less carbon dioxide would diffuse out of the fish's bloodstream into the water. Gas exchange would remain the same, regardless of the direction of water flow.arrow_forward
