these organisms are anaerobic. They do not need air to survive.
ANSWERAnaerobic implies that the organism does not need oxygen to survive, and anaerobic organisms are mostly bacteria, archaebacteria and protists.Marine animals most certainly do need oxygen to survive, they merely respirate in a different manner from terrestrial organisms. A fish's gills flaps pass water over their dark red gills, and from there they respirate, separating the oxygen from the water the same way humans separate oxygen from the host of other gases in our air.
OXYGEN IS IN THE WATER!!! The organism takes the water and oxygen in its gills then puches back out the water and takes in the oxygen.
What else can I help you with?
Do lizards have gills?
Lizards do not have gills. They have lungs for breathing air, unlike aquatic animals that have gills to extract oxygen from water.
What is the importance of solubility of gases to aquatic animals?
Aquatic animals still breathe oxygen, even if in water. If there's little oxygen dissolved in the water, they will suffocate.
What is breathing with gills called?
Breathing is breathing is breathing whatever you use to do it with. There is no special term or word to my knowledge that specifically means "Breathing with gills".
Are gills organs?
Yes, gills are organs that aquatic animals use for breathing underwater. They extract oxygen from water and release carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
What are the three ways animals get oxygen?
Breathing air through lungs Breathing Oxygen in water via gills Absorbing oxygen through the skin (mainly amphibians)
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

What process is involved when animals take in oxygen?
Breathing.

Dissolved oxygen in the ocean water does what?
Dissolved oxygen in ocean water is crucial for the survival of marine life. It is used by fish and other aquatic organisms for respiration. Low levels of dissolved oxygen can lead to stress or death among marine organisms.
where does oxygen enter the stream?
In air breathing animals, oxygen enters the blood stream through the alveoli, tiny sacs in the lungs. In water breathing animals oxygen enters the blood stream through the gills.
Do animals take in both the oxygen and the gulcose?
by eating and breathing
What are the three ways animals get oxygen?
Breathing air through lungs Breathing Oxygen in water via gills Absorbing oxygen through the skin (mainly amphibians)
Do animals get oxygen from eating plants?
No, animals get the Oxygen they need from breathing in air as part of the process of respiration, this has nothing to do with digesting food.
How is oxygen involed in cell respiration?
many land animals get oxygen by breathing air into their lungs,like you do .but not all animals get oxygen this way. different structures for getting oxygen.
