How can a body of water can be depleted of its oxygen?
Water can be depleted of it's oxygen by a number of different ways. Short of putting the water in a vacuum and "sucking" the dissolved oxygen out, oxygen-breathing organisms such as fish take oxygen from the water through respiration, for example. It is unlikely a large body of water to become completely deoxygenated due to the presence of photosynthetic aquatic organisms (plants) and the fact that oxygen is also dissolved in the water at the water's surface.
Doe weeds give us oxygen?
yes they do because they suck in carbon dioxide then turn it into oxygen if they didnt then sirtan types of fish would die out. yes they do because they suck in carbon dioxide then turn it into oxygen if they didnt then sirtan types of fish would die out.
What happens if you put a fish in coffee?
If you were to put a fish in coffee then it would not be able to breath because of the lack of oxygen in the coffee. The gills of the fish would also brun off because of the heat of the coffee.
How are fish adapted to the sea?
This really depends on the species of the fish, what kind of fish it is, and its age. But fish in the wild and domestically-bred fish will react differently to a new environment. Fish that have lived in tanks tend to adapt better to a new environment (ex. When a tank is changed/cleaned) than wild fish who are used to some certain things in their environment. ~ Hexedgirl92

How is the oxygen taken in by the lungs of mammals different from the oxygen taken in by the gills of a fish?
Mammal take in oxygen in the air while fish take in oxygen in the water.
How is the oxygen taken in by the lungs of a mammal different from the oxygen taken in by the gills of the fish?
the gills of a fish take in oxygen in water while the human lung take in oxygen in the air. I think...
Why can fish survive in the water?
Fish have gills, which allow them to take oxygen out of the water, just as we take oxygen out of the air, to put it simply.
What gas do fish take in?
They take in oxygen with their gills.
Fish take in oxygen through their gills what do insects take in oxygen through?
spiracles
How does a fish take oxygen in?
Through its gills
What reduces oxygen is ponds?
this is correct as the fish cause a bacteria to be generated as they are in a cramped environment. this bacteria saps oxygen from the fish, so the fish in the pond take more oxygen. then the plants take in more oxygen to try and compete so they can respire (not photosynthesize.
Why do fish die when taken out of the water?
Fish, like us, need oxygen to live. However they have gills to taken oxygen from water, whereas we have lungs to take oxygen from the air. Therefore, when fish get taken out of the water, as they don't have lungs they have no way to take in oxygen, so they die.
Do fish take in carbon dioxide by using their gills?
No, they take in oxygen.
What water creatures use gills to take in oxygen?
Fish
What does algae provide creatures?
For alge eating fish, food. But if you are a normal fish the alge take the oxygen out of the water and fish need oxygen to survive so not very good things for normal fish.
Why isn't a penguin classed as a fish?
It takes in oxygen through air, using lungs. Fish take in oxygen through water, using gills.
