Full Description
This exam focuses on the physiological mechanisms that govern respiration in various animal taxa. Emphasis will be placed on the structural adaptations of respiratory organs and the biochemical processes involved in gas exchange.
Understanding these physiological processes is essential for comprehending how different species adapt to their environments. Insights gained contribute to fields such as ecology, conservation biology, and physiological ecology.
The exam will assess the candidate's ability to articulate the key physiological principles and mechanisms involved in respiration and gas exchange. Candidates should be prepared to discuss anatomical structures and functions across different organisms.
A sound grasp of cellular respiration and the role of hemoglobin and myoglobin in oxygen transport may be beneficial for candidates.
Sample Questions
- How do the respiratory systems of fish differ from those of mammals?
- What role does hemoglobin play in oxygen transport?
