Which mechanism causes increased efficiency when fish gills receive warmer water?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature results in better gas molecule diffusion due to a heightened energy state; this boosts the efficiency of countercurrent exchange because the molecules are faster. Therefore, the membrane diffusion gradient increases in fish; rather than hemoglobin binding or gas solubility increases.
