Chapter 48.1, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for an increase in gill ventilation rate of a fish when there is an increase in temperature of water that surrounds it.
Introduction:
Fishes have gills for respiration. The inhalation of gases by gills in fish is dependent on the temperature of water that is present outside. The cold water has more amount of dissolved oxygen as compared to the dissolved oxygen in warm water. The breathing rate of fishes is different in warm and cold water.

- Many, but not all, marine fishes are simultaneously both osmoregulators and ionoregulators. Say that a friend caught a fish off of the Cape Cod coast where the seawater has an osmotic pressure of 1,050 mosmol.L-1 and a Na+ concentration of 450 mmol.L-1. Which of the following plasma compositions might reasonably be consistent with your friend's fish being such an osmoregulating and ionoregulating species? A. plasma osmotic pressure = 350 mosmol.L-1; plasma Na+ concentration = 430 mmol.L-1 B. plasma osmotic pressure = 1,050 mosmol.L-1; plasma Na+ concentration = 450 mmol.L-1 C. plasma osmotic pressure = 1,035 mosmol.L-1; plasma Na+ concentration = 170 mmol.L-1 D. plasma osmotic pressure = 355 mosmol.L-1; plasma Na+ concentration = 161 mmol.L-1 E.

- A fish swims from a body of cool water into a body of warm water. As its body temperature rises, its rate of O2 consumption increases. The warm water, however is likely to have a lower concentration of dissolved O2 than the cool water because the solubility of O2 in water decreases as temperature increases. These two factors taken together, an increase in the fish's rate of O2 consumption and a decrease in the dissolved O2 concentration of its environmental water, can make it difficult for the fish to obtain enough O2 to meet its needs. The two factors can act as a two-pronged trap. Actually, however, the fish may face a three-pronged trap. How is the increase in temperature likely to affect the O2 affinity of the fish's hemoglobin, and how could the effect on hemoglobin add even further to the challenge the fish faces? Does global warming pose concerns of this sort?arrow_forwardIncreasing ventilation to remove accumulating CO2 in the blood will Increase the concentration of H+ Raise pH Shift the transport of CO2 to primarily the dissolved state Lower pHarrow_forwardCompare and contrast ion and water balance in animals that use protonephridia, metanephridia, and kidneys.
