Since the Lake Titicaca frog lives at a very high elevation which of the following adaptations have occurred to maximize skin oxygen diffusion? Osmall skin CSA that is very thick Osmall skin CSA that is very thin Olarge skin CSA which is very thick Olarge skin CSA which is very thin

Step 1
To maximize oxygen diffusion through the skin, the frog needs a large surface area (CSA) for gas exchange and a thin skin layer to reduce the diffusion distance. Show more…

There are amphibians that are even larger than bullfrogs. Which of the following could explain how such a large amphibian could obtain a sufficient rate of diffusion of respiratory gases? Select all that apply: a. living in an environment of lower oxygen concentration b. reduced metabolic rate (reduced rate of cellular respiration) c. dry skin d. different shape (e.g. flat or ribbon-shaped) e. larger internal surface area of the lungs

There are amphibians that are even larger than bullfrogs. Which of the following could explain how such a large amphibium could obtain a sufficient rate of diffusion of respiratory gases? Select all that apply: a. different shape (e.g. flat or ribbon shaped) b. living in an environment of lower oxygen concentration c. larger internal surface area of the lungs d. dry skin e. reduced metabolic rate (reduced rate of cellular respiration) Respiratory surfaces must always stay moist (be covered by a very thin film of water). Diffusion across dry surfaces is exceedingly slow. Which variable of Fick's Law is most likely responsible for this? a. D b. L c. A d. (Phigh-Plow)

Which of the following is NOT an adaptation that can increase the rate of oxygen uptake in animals? gills, compared to a lack of such structures small size, compared to a larger size many folds of skin, compared to a flat surface spherical shape, compared to a disk shape
