A. increase hemoglobin and red blood cell levels

B. increase ventilation and circulation rate
C. increase myoglobin in the blood
D. decrease ventilation and circulation rate

13. Multiple-Answer with 2 correct answers What combination of factors enable plants to rely solely on diffusion for gas exchange?

A. they have a relatively high level of metabolism due to their ectothermic and immobile nature

B. only trees that are Ents cannot rely on diffusion for gas exchange
C. tissue air space distance from high to low gas molecule concentration is long because leaves are generally very thick
D. plants do not need to worry about scaling relationships between metabolic rate and mass
E. they have a high surface to volume ratio due to the fractal characteristic of their branching and leafing
each part of the plant takes care of its own gas exchange needs via air spaces and gas exchange organs that lie close to living tissue

C. field observations of the time spent per activity
D. respirometry while at rest and during mating in the lab
