Animal Physiology Questions
1. How do decreases in PCO2, pH, temperature and organic
phosphate modulators (i.e. 2,3-DPG) shift the oxygen equilibrium
curve of animals? If the oxygen equilibrium curve shifts to the
right, how does that change an animal’s P50? How does it change its
oxygen affinity?
2. We talked about a diversity of respiratory strategies used by
animals in class. One of the main differences between fish &
frogs compared to reptiles, and mammals was that fish and frogs...
