Which statement about gas exchange is accurate for aquatic animals?
Which statement about gas exchange is accurate for aquatic animals?
- Less oxygen available, higher density and viscosity make it more energy-consuming to move water over a respiratory surface (correct)
- It is not mentioned in the text
- More oxygen available, lower density and viscosity make it easier to eliminate CO2
