PNB 2250 Exam 3 Questions and Correct
Answers | Latest Update
Examples of respiratory structures of terrestrial animals


✓ -:- bulk flow with tracheal system and spiracles (insects), cutaneous

(frog)




Examples of respiratory structures of aquatic animals


✓ -:- bulk flow (sponges, cnidarians), gills, water vascular system,

arborescent respiratory trees (sea cucumber), cutaneous (leech)




Do all aquatic animals necessarily exchange gasses in water?


✓ -:- No, some aquatic animals could exchange gasses above water using

lungs, like aquatic mammals, or cutaneous respiration, like frogs, which

takes advantage of moist skin rather than being in the water




Relationship between a gas's volume and its pressure


✓ -:- Volume and pressure are inversely related because in a higher

volume gas has more room to move, which means it has a lower

pressure.

What is a gas's partial pressure?


✓ -:- A partial pressure is the independent gas's exertion of pressure on

the walls of a container via molecula r collisions.




How does O2 and CO2 differ in their solubility & concentration in water versus in air?


✓ -:- Solubility of oxygen is lower in water than air, while CO2 reacts

with water to form bicarbonate and carbonic acid. Oxygen is in higher

concentration than CO2 in both air and water. Warmer water and salt

water holds less oxygen




What happens to air pressure as elevation increases? What happens to water pressure as

depth increases?


✓ -:- As elevation increases, air pressure decreases.

As depth increases in water, pressure increases.




How might water's density and viscosity affect the energy required for ventilation by aquatic

animals compared to that in air-breathers? How does this impact locomotion?


✓ -:- Water has a high viscosity an d density, which means that it is

thicker and heavier. This means that water holds less oxygen than the air

does. This means that locomotion is also hard for aquatic mammals.

Name an animal that has neither a circulatory system nor a respiratory system and relies

solely on cutaneous diffusion for gas exchange. How is this adequate for its survival?


✓ -:- Small and thin animals, like flatworms and horsehair worm parasites,

have no respiratory or circulatory systems and solely rely on

cutaneous/cuticle diffusion through water or air.




Name one aquatic and one terrestrial animal that respires cutaneously, but moves the

diffused gasses through a circulatory system


✓ -:- Long animals use cutaneous respiration and moves the gas to the

circulatory system

Aquatic cutaneous: leech


Terrestrial cutaneous: frog




Name one aquatic and one terrestrial animal that has the opposite physiological setup: one

that lacks a circulatory system (at least one used primarily for gas exchange) and respires

using bulk flow of the medium (water or air)


✓ -:- Bulk flow animals have no circulatory system

Aquatic: sponge, cnidarian


Terrestrial: insect (tracheal system and spiracles)

Name an aquatic and terrestrial animal that utilizes a bulk flow step in both their respiratory

and circulatory systems and identify the two sites of gas diffusion during the transport of O2

and CO2 through the body.


✓ -:- Animals that utilize bulk flow in their respiratory and circulatory

systems

Aquatic: mollusks, crustaceans


Terrestrial: vertebrates


It diffuses into respiratory vasculature of the alveoli and respiring cells through the

capillaries, where it enters mitochondria for aerobic respiration.




What are the gills of a mollusk called (which also double as a ciliated, filter-feeding structure

in bivalves)?


✓ -:- Ctenidia are large leaf-like organs that are used partly for

respiration and partly for filtering food from the water in mollusks




How do cephalopods actively move water across their gills?


✓ -:- Cephalopods have paired gills and muscles that force water through

a mantle cavity
