Summary Introduction

To explain: The conditions under which it might be an advantageous for a fish to have lungs as well as gills.

Introduction: The process of gas exchange occurs between an organism and its environment is known as respiration. For cellular respiration, most of the animal cells need a continuous oxygen supply. During respiration, oxygen is inhaled from the environment by animal and transport to individual cells of the body. As well as, carbon dioxide produced by the cell during cellular respiration is exhaled from the body to the atmosphere.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The function that lungs of modern fishes serve.

Jay Guide The human embryo and the embryos of other animals with backbones have gill slits. According to the modern evolutionary theory, this best supports the idea: Mark only one oval. That fish are our closest relatives All embryos breathe through their gills All animals with backbones are related by common ancestry All organisms have gill slits at an early stage in their development
Thinking Critically When did the first true animals evolve? What atmospheric changes had to happen before animal life was possible? Are descendants of most of the early forms of animal life represented in the ocean today? Explain why.
Part 2-Describe the Adaptations *Remember: An adaptation can be physical (a part of the animal's body) or it can be behavioral (something the animal does). (lion) What adaptations help your animal(lion) breathe? What adaptations help your animal(lion) defend itself? What adaptations help your animal(lion) survive different weather patterns? What adaptations help your animal(lon) find a mate or care for offspring?
