Which outcome occurs when oxygen demands increase using gills?

A)Increased countercurrent exchange efficiency
B)Decreased diffusion across membranes
C)Reduced blood flow across gills
D)Elevated carbon dioxide uptake efficiency

💡 Explanation

Increased oxygen demand boosts blood flow, because this enhances the countercurrent exchange mechanism by elevating the concentration gradient, therefore boosting oxygen diffusion from water to blood, rather than diminishing diffusion caused by reduced flow.
