- If water passed over the gills of fish in the same direction as blood flow through the capillaries, how would gas exchange be affected? 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_forwardUsing the terms below, which of the following correctly lists the flow of water through a Bivalve capable of counter-current respiratory exchange? excurrent opening incurrent opening pores of water tubes suprabranchial chamber mantle cavity A)2, 5, 1, 3, 4, 5 B)2, 5, 3, 4, 1, 5 C)3, 4, 5, 2, 1, 3 D)1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1 E)2, 4, 3, 4, 5, 1arrow_forwardRespiratory System of a bivalve: Mytilus/Mussles Parameter Identification/Description/Enumeration Number of gill(s) Position/location of the gills Type of gill (according to the arrangement and structure of the gill filaments) Points of entry and exit of water to and from the mussel Functions of the gill(s)arrow_forward
- What is a characteristic of the circulatory systems of arthropods and mollusks that distinguishes them from the circulatory system of echinoderms? They have lungs. They have muscular pumps to circulate the extracellular fluid. They are closed circulatory systems. They have extracellular fluid to transport substances to and from internal organs. They have cilia to circulate the extracellular fluid.arrow_forwardSwim bladders in fish and lungs in terrestrial animals have a common evolutionary origin, but have evolved to perform different functions. What is the primary function of swim bladders in fish? They serve as buoyancy control organs. They filter toxins from the water. They allow fish to absorb most of their oxygen. They help in the digestion of food.arrow_forwardCrayfish have gills but open circulatory systems, whereas squid have gills but closed systems. What does this difference tell you about each animal's average metabolic needs? What other large surface do squid use for gas exchange, and what internal structure in the squid serves as defense? Explain everything in three paragraphs.arrow_forward

The fish is then released unharmed. This action forces water to flow backwards over the gill filaments and in between the gill lamellae. What effect would this backwards water flow have on respiration? It would reduce efficiency of gas exchange between water and blood The only effect would be due to the fish's discomfort from this treatment. O It would improve efficiency of gas exchange between water and bloodarrow_forward
- Neither cnidarians nor turbellarians possess a circulatory system. For most large, active animals, this would pose a (fatal) problem. Describe and discuss the features of large active cnidarians ands turbellarians that allow them to respire, nourish their cells, and excrete despite the absence of a conventional circulatory system.arrow_forwardMatch each organ to the system or function with which it is associated. lateral lines gills tracheae 1. respiratory metanephridia 2. digestive ganglia 3. excretory foot (mollusc) 4. circulatory 5. nervous and sensory gizzardarrow_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.
