Assume an animal lives in a mudflat that experiences low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels twice a day during low tides. How could this animal compensate for this situation when it actually needs oxygen and carbon dioxide for normal metabolism?

Reduce activity to slow down metabolism until better conditions return, as this will reduce its oxygen requirement.

What is a major difference between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?

Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control; cardiac muscle is spontaneously active and involuntary.
