In what ways can living things take in air water and food other than mosqiuto suck take in air water and food?
Frogs take in air food and water through their skin
Can snails breathe underwater, or do they require air to survive?
Snails cannot breathe underwater. They need air to survive as they have lungs or gills to take in oxygen from the air.
Do aquarium snails need air to survive?
Yes, aquarium snails do need air to survive. They breathe oxygen from the water through their gills, but they also require access to the surface of the water to breathe air.
Dose a snail drown in water?
Yes land snails breathe air. so they can drown in water. Sea snails and fresh water snails breathe oxygen derived from water using gills so they can drown in air. I guess that the rate that they expire at is quite slow since their metabolism would be very slow.
Can snails survive in water and if so, for how long?
Yes, snails can survive in water for a limited time. Most snails are able to survive underwater for several hours to a few days, depending on the species and environmental conditions. However, prolonged exposure to water can be harmful to snails as they need air to breathe.
How do water snails survive under water?
Over time the snails have evolved. this evolution developed structures of the snails body so that it could live under water i.e. a siphon to obtain air without having to leave the safety of water, gills, water vascular system for circulation of oxygen.
What items would you take to a space station?
Food, water, air and a means to get back
Can snails live in tap water?
No, because they breathe air, they don't have gills (like fish).
What are the different ways living things use to take in air food and water?
Plants take in water from their roots and produce food if they have water. They can produce their own food so you don't have to feed them. Plants can take in air with every part of their body. It's important to have oxygen for us to survive. It's the same for plants because they are also living things.
What is snail respire?
Snails respire primarily through a specialized respiratory structure called the pallial cavity, which functions similarly to a lung in air-breathing species. In aquatic snails, respiration occurs through gills located within this cavity. They take in oxygen from the surrounding water or air, and carbon dioxide is expelled as a waste product. This process allows snails to efficiently exchange gases necessary for their survival.
Can land snails breathe underwater, and if so, how do they do it?
No, land snails cannot breathe underwater. They have lungs and need air to breathe. If they are submerged in water for too long, they will drown.
What do land snails need to survive?
Garden snails need water, air, and food to survive, just like us! For the water, though, it needs it not just to drink (I'm not so sure if they can actually drink) but to hydrate themselves. You may notice that Garden Snails come out when it rains outside. This is because they only are active when there is moisture, and when it isn't dry, or else they will dry out. Their food includes lots of veggies like lettuce, though I am sure that they eat fruits of all kinds too. They are herbivores. Also, they breath air, and they have a breathing hole too!
