Which living things carry out the process of respiration?
all living organisms respire during respiration they take in oxygen and give out carbon-dioxide during respiration the food present in the body is broken down with the help of oxygen to release energy
Rabbit have a lungs or gills?
Rabbits, like all mammals, have lungs, not gills. Lungs are the respiratory organs of mammals, including rabbits, and they are adapted for breathing air. Gills, on the other hand, are the respiratory organs of aquatic animals such as fish and some amphibians. Gills are specialized for extracting oxygen from water, whereas lungs are designed for extracting oxygen from the air. Rabbits breathe by inhaling air through their nostrils, which then passes into their lungs, where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide in the blood.
What are some sentences for the word terrestrial?
Earth is a terrestrial planet
Can all animals swim by instinct?
No.not all the animals can.e.g the lizard which is the terrestrial animal can nt swim even the cockroach can't also.
Which terrestrial planets have had volcanic activity at some point in their histories?
All of them.
What are some terrestrial animals?
Terrestrial animals are those animals that live almost all of their life on land. An example of some terrestrial animals include, cats, ants, dogs, and giraffe.
What are some animals with gills that begin with the letter A?
fish
How does a crab respire?
If your imaginary critter is crablike, then I assume it's a crustacean, or at least some kind of terrestrial arthropod. You already know that crabs respire through gills, which work in water but not in air. However, your creature lives in sand dunes, so it'll need some kind of respiratory structure that does work on land. The land crab you mentioned, the red crab (Gecarcoidea natalis) belongs to the family Gecarcinidae, all of which are terrestrial as adults. These animals still use gills for gas exchange. However, the chamber that encloses the gills (the branchial chamber) has become highly vascularized and acts as a lung. In other words, the gills hang in the branchial chamber as in "normal" crabs, but respiratory gas exchange occurs across the surface of the chamber itself as well as over the gills. Most of the terrestrial crabs live either in burrows or in shells (hermit crabs). The burrows protect the animals from predation, temperature extremes, and desiccation. Air-breathing animals can lose a lot of precious water via evaporation over their respiratory surfaces, so lungs and branchial chambers are usually enclosed structures with only a small opening to the outside. Living in a burrow gives a land crab additional protection against desiccation -- the air inside the burrow will be more humid than the air outside, and less subject to drying winds. The burrow also provides an air-filled pocket in the ground (or sand dune, in the case of your imaginary animal) so the crab can breathe. Your imaginary crablike animal could respire and live in a burrow as the gecarcinids do. It would most likely need to return to the sea to reproduce, though. Even the terrestrial red crab has a more or less coastal distribution, because females release their larvae into the ocean. I hope this answers your question.

What kind of vertebrates do snail is it amphibians yes or no if no write the correct answer?
A snail is an invertebrate gastropod mollusc. Some respire with a lung while sea snails have gills.
How can animals live in the ocean?
Some animals have gills and mammals go up to the surface for air
Do crabs breathe through their skins?
Crabs have gills. The underwater ones have larger gills than the terrestrial ones. Terrestrial crabs use the humidity in the air to breathe. this is why crabs live near water even if they are land dwellers. some crabs have very small and basic lungs but these cannot function without water and are usually attached to some sort of gill.
How can animals breathe?
There are several ways animals breathe. Most mammals, reptiles and birds use lungs to do so, while some amphibians and fish use gills. Some fish have an air bladder, which is kind of like a primitive lung and allows them to live in oxygen depleted bodies of water. Other amphibians and more primitive creatures can respire through their moist skin.

What animals have gills and lungs?
The only animal that has true lungs and gills is the lungfish. Animals like frogs often have gills for a portion of their lives and then later develop lungs.
What do cells in animals do with sugar?
They Respire it, when they are not storing it; they also use it in some construction activities, and the odd regulatory function.
What gills are?
The plural "gills" is the collective term for the breathing tissues of fish, amphibians, and some crustaceans. These animals use their gills to extract oxygen from water.
Are land animals better than sea animals?
They are not necessarily better. Some animals are more suited to life in a maritime environment but that does not make them better or worse than so called terrestrial animals anymore than animals suited for a terrestrial (land) environment are better.
