How does oxygen get into water for fish to breathe?
Oxygen partially dissolves in water. Respiratory systems of aquatic animals are adapted to get this dissolved oxygen. They have gills for respiration.
Do parasites need oxygen?
Yes, most parasites require oxygen to survive as they rely on aerobic respiration for energy production. However, some parasites have adapted to survive in low-oxygen environments by using alternative metabolic pathways or by obtaining oxygen from their host organisms.
Is obtaining oxygen part of the function of a skeleton?
No, obtaining oxygen is not a function of the skeleton. The skeleton provides support, protection for internal organs, assists in movement, and serves as a storehouse for minerals. Oxygen is obtained and distributed through the respiratory and circulatory systems.
How have plants and animals adapt to life on land?
Plants and animals have adapted to feed, reproduction, and life on land by utilizing oxygen or carbon dioxide that is absorbed through lungs or via photosynthesis rather than using gills. They have adapted with fur to keep them warm and legs to move them safely on land. Plants have adapted to utilize sunlight and animals to reproduce.
Would a larger mammal have a lower affinity for oxygen?
No, larger mammals tend to have a higher affinity for oxygen. This is because larger animals have a greater need for oxygen due to their higher metabolic rates, so their bodies have adapted to efficiently utilize the available oxygen.
What gas do animals need to convert food into energy?
Animals need oxygen to convert food into energy through a process called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose from food is broken down using oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which the body uses for various functions.
Is obtaining food and oxygen a function of the skeleton?
no
How do animals in the taiga adapted?
Animals adapted in taiga cause they have thick fur and there blood is cold so they adapted.
What eats tapeworm?
Tapeworms are adapted to obtaining nutrients from inside the bodies of one host.
Structures used for obtaining oxygen from water?
The gills.
Is there enough oxygen under water?
No, there is not enough dissolved oxygen in water for humans to breathe. Aquatic animals have adapted to extract oxygen from water using gills, while humans would need specialized equipment like scuba gear to breathe underwater.
Where is oxygen obtain?
The two main sources for obtaining oxygen are the air - 23% of air is oxygen - and water by electrolysis.
