t on aerobic respiration however the cells will die and therefore no respiration will take place or will not be needed.Adaptations:Mammals in the sea have large layers of fat, which keeps them warm during nights. Mammals in the artic region hibernate during winter to conserve energy. Cold-blooded animals reside only in warm places and try to go under shade when it is very hot. Oxygen and carbon dioxide:An increase in the amount of O2 causes an increase in aerobic respiration. However, too much of O2 causes O2 poisoning since the high affects the body reactions. Too much CO2 will cause the body to acquire H+ due to lack of oxygen ions for the redox reaction and lead to acidity in the cells. Therefore increasingly reduced and may be fatal.Adaptations:1)Sea mammals dive after taking in air and then the cardiac frequency drastically decreases (brandycardia) and the arterials of all vital organs constrict so that O2 can be delivered to the vital organs.2)Sea mammals also have a very huge lung so that they can go on for some time with having to come up for air every minute. 3)Humans living in high altitude regions have more red blood cells so that they can take in more oxygen every time they breathe in. 4)Plants living under water have special roots which absorb oxygen from the water so that they can respire. Humidity: The higher the humidity the harder it seems to breath because of the increases ratio of water to other gases in the air. With increased ratio of humidity to O2, respiration is reduced since the amount of O2 is reduced.Adaptations.The body acquires large number red blood cells to transport oxygen all around the body. The most important is that a lot of sweating takes place in animals and transpiration in plants. The effect of the environment on anaerobic respiration:Temperature: Anaerobic respiration involves enzymes. These enzymes work best at a optimum temperature of 37c.Too much of heat may denature the enzymes...
