An animal would have an oxygen dissociation curve shifted to the left (higher affinity) to better obtain oxygen in low O2 environments for aerobic respiration and ATP production.
- low O2 environment - higher affinity for oxygen - to obtain more oxygen for more aerobic respiration - for use as terminal electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation - to produce ATP
