Directions: Read the following story, then follow the directions below.

A marine biologist conducted a study of the ability of vertebrate blood to carry oxygen. He
believed that a low environmental temperature would cause the organism's blood to carry
less oxygen than blood at a higher temperature. The following reflects the scientists
experiment and the data he collected.

• Two tanks of salt water, each containing 25 gallons, was set up in the lab.
• Each tank was filled with the same types of organisms ( perch and salmon ).
• The same type of aerators were added to each tank to supply dissolved oxygen to the
fish.
~ 00 one of.tbetanks ed TANK A the tem erature was decreased at increments
~degt.e.e~ C everY.20 minutes .
~. The second tank, marked-T~,..tbe-temperature is raised at increments of 5
.~?l d~~s C every 20mi~ __ .__ -
• Blood was removed from each of the fish and measured for its oxygen content.
• Below is the results from the above experiment.
