Question

Refer to the figure.  Which statement about the lungfish (shown) is true?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lungfish are able to survive in muddy, oxygen-poor environments by breathing air through a modified swim bladder that functions as a lung. They are able to enter an inactive state and survive for long periods of time by just breathing air, making statement A true. Statement B is false because lungfish exchange gases both through gills and lunglike sacs. Statement C is partially true, as their gills are modified to also function as lungs. Statement D is false, as lungfish are primarily aquatic but may move into temporary habitats during dry seasons. Statement E is true, as lungfish possess both a swim bladder and lunglike sacs.
