llama and lug worm haemoglobin

Cards (8)

  • where do llamas live

    in areas of high altitude
  • what happens when there is a increase in altitude
    there is a drop in atmospheric pressure and therefore a reduction in partial pressure of oxygen
  • how are llamas adapted to live in areas of high altitude
    llamas has a higher affinity for oxygen and therefore picked up oxygen more readily at the lungs
  • how will the curve of a haemoglobin graph change for a llama
    it will shift to the left
  • why will animals that live at high altitude have more red blood cells
    more haemoglobin more oxygen that is able to be carried
  • Where do lugworms live?

    in burrows in the sand
  • how do lugworms take up oxygen
    the absorb oxygen from the sea water they pump through their burrows
  • how are lug worms adapted to live in their burrows

    they have a higher affinity for oxygen to absorb oxygen from the sea water
