Why breathing rate of aquatic organisms is faster than the terrestrial animals?
The breathing rate of aquatic animals is faster than that of terrestrial animals because the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water in much less than the amount outside, so they have to breathe more in order to get more oxygen
Oxygen is required in biological systems for what?
We need it to breathe
How do you use oxygen in your daily life?
Breathing! Oxygen is required by the body in order to carry out daily functions
Dissolved oxygen in the ocean water does what?
Allows aquatic animals to participate in the process of respiration (namely, breathing), and in turn, allows them to live.
How aquatic animal breath?
They take in oxygen and filter water from their gills. They use the 0 from the H20 basically.
How do aquatic plants breath in oxygen?
some have breathing roots that appear above water surface pneumataphores
Is plant breathing the same as animal breathing?
No. Plants have tiny holes in the bottom of their leaves that take in oxygen. Also, plants don't have lungs.
How is breathing essential to life?
Oxygen is required to break down food in order to get energy from food. Without oxygen, we'd have no energy and would not survive.
Is water required for respiration?
yes, even for air-breathing animals, water conducts oxygen to the blood.
What is the name of the gas animals need in the air?
Oxygen is required for breathing also you might want nitrogen too
Water has sufficient dissolved oxygen to sustain aquatic life?
Water does have sufficient dissolved oxygen to sustain aquatic life. This is true because aquatic life has adapted to the limited oxygen using gills.
What animal have both gills and lungs?
Sharks, Fish, and other non-oxygen breathing animals in the ocean.
