1. Blood in the gills runs in the opposite direction as the water outside the gill filaments. By running in the direction opposi

te the flow of water, the blood is always exposed to an area of water that has a higher level of oxygen. Oxygen moves across the membranes by diffusion. So if the gill had more oxygen than the water, the fish would lose oxygen to its surroundings. This is an example of:

Answer:

Counter current  system  for oxygen exchange. This  process allow the exchange through diffusion of oxygen from higher concentration of water to lower concentration in the fish blood, from the surface of the  fish lammela,Therefore as  blood flows through the gill capillaries,oxygen at higher diffusion gradient,enters the capillaries, sustained by higher diffsuion rate of Oxygen Counter by opposite blood flow.

Protists can be:________.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

e) unicellular, colonial, or multicellular.

Explanation:

Protists originates from the Kingdom Protoctista. They comprise of organisms that are unicellular (Amoeba) or unicellular-colonial (volvox) in nature and which have no tisssues, therefore they are at the cellular level of organization.

Examples include, Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena, Slime mold, Kelp, Diatoms, DInoflagellates. etc.

Some of them are also considered to be multicellular eukaryotes e.g slime molds, red algae etc. Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that possess cells containing a nucleus.

Characteristics in which protists exhibit varies from one species to the other.

For example, the mode of nutrition in eukaryotic algae are autotrophic in nature, in amoeba, they are gifted with pseudopods(false feets) in which they used to engulf prey(a term  known as phagocytosis) therefore making them to be heterotrophic in nature.

In protist, locomotion varies from one organism to another. For example, in Amoeba , locomotion is achieved by extending and retracting pseudopods, Euglena are flagellated in nature , hence they move with the flagella. In Paramecium that are ciliated in nature, they move by propelling their cilia. etc.
