AP Success - AP Biology Conceptual Analysis: Systems Interact - Circulatory

Fish have a unique circulatory system that allows them to extract oxygen from water through their gills. This system is a single-loop system, where the heart pumps the blood to the gills, and from there, it flows to the rest of the body before returning to the heart.

Question 1

Short answer
Describe the process of oxygen extraction in fish through their gills.

Question 2

Short answer
In a fish tank, the oxygen level suddenly drops. Explain the impact of this change on the fish's circulatory system and its ability to survive.

Question 3

Short answer
Predict the possible changes in the fish's circulatory system if it evolves to live in an environment with low oxygen levels.

Question 4

Short answer
Some scientists claim that fish have a more efficient circulatory system compared to terrestrial animals due to their single-loop system. Provide reasoning to justify their claim.
