← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs from highly efficient gill respiration?
A)Maximum oxygen absorption to blood✓
B)Minimized energy expenditure for ventilation
C)Decreased carbon dioxide removal rate
D)Reduced diffusion gradient maintenance
💡 Explanation
Efficient gill respiration results in increased oxygen absorption due to countercurrent exchange, where blood flows opposite water, because a constant concentration gradient is maintained ; therefore, maximum oxygen is absorbed efficiently rather than reduced amounts absorbed from parallel flow.
