Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 42 Circulation and Gas Exchange Flashcards

Substantial emphasis is placed in Chapter 42 on the big picture of animals existing only by virtue of exchanging matter with their environments. In particular, oxygen and carbon dioxide dynamics are explored in a wide variety of animals, with close investigation of the diverse structures and functions involved in gas exchange. The Test Bank questions assess learning across many levels of inquiry, from atomic to organismal.
