A. Hypobaric chamber
B. Hyperbaric chamber

A

B. Hyperbaric chamber

A

50

Q

Why can’t a person hang out on the bottom of a 10-foot deep pool by using a snorkel that reaches to the surface?

A. at that depth, the diaphragm could not overcome the high pressure, so breathing could not occur

A

C. both

Q

In spring, 2019, scientists were able to attach a heart monitor to a blue whale and measure its heart rate during a dive.

A. its maximal heart rate
B. 2 beats per minute
C. 37 beats per minute
D. heart rate corresponding to lactate threshold

A

B. 2 beats per minute

39
