Scientists discovered a new species of freshwater fish that lives in a pond with a very low O2 level. When they measured the oxy

gen extraction efficiency of the fish, it was twice as high as that of closely-related fresh water fish. Propose a hypothesis to explain how the fish achieve a high O2 extraction efficiency

Answer:

In order to propose a hypothesis, there is a need to first see the function of gills in fishes. The gills of fishes comprise blood vessels that exhibit inherited tendencies of getting oxygen out of the water, which was consumed by fishes from their mouths. These gills also comprise thin walls, and when water moves over these walls of blood vessels, the oxygen from water moves into the blood, and then this oxygen-enriched blood goes to various organs.  

Thus, one of the hypotheses in the given case, can be the number of blood vessels, which are found in the gills of the mentioned freshwater fish to be higher in comparison to the blood vessels found in the normal fishes, and apart from this, the surface area of the thin walls, which are found in the gills is also more in the new species of freshwater fish.

What is cellular respiration and how does this process ultimately lead to the generation of atp?

Cellular respiration is the metabolic process by which a cell produces usable energy in the form of ATP. In order to accomplish this cells require Glucose and Oxygen to form the reaction which produces ATP and the byproducts of Water and CO2.

In reality its a complex topic however this is the basic form.

The red-legged frog breeds in ephemeral ponds from January through March. Its relative, the bullfrog, breeds in permanent ponds
LekaFEV [45]

The red-legged frog breeds in ephemeral ponds from January through March. Its relative, the bullfrog, breeds in permanent ponds from late March through May. There are two pre-mating isolation mechanism at play here,

1. Ecological isolation: The habitats are different, hence the individuals of both the species do not meet. Ephemeral ponds are temporary ponds that develop during rainy days, while the permanent ponds are full of water throughout the year.

2. Temporal isolation: The time of mating is different for both the species to avoid contact between the individuals of closely related species. Red-legged frogs mate in January to March slot and the bullfrog in the March to May slot.
