What internal organ is used to remove oxygen from water?

Gills are the internal organs used by aquatic animals to remove oxygen from water. They extract oxygen from water through specialized structures and transfer it into the bloodstream to support the animal's respiratory process.


What are the uses of water on moon?

Water on the moon can be used for sustaining human life by providing drinking water and oxygen for breathing. It can also be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen to create rocket fuel, which can facilitate further exploration and colonization of the moon and beyond. Additionally, water can be used in agriculture and to support other industrial processes.


What arthropod structures are uses for extracting oxygen from water?

The commonest arthropod structures for extracting oxygen from water would be gills, are protected inside a body cavity with ventral openings; rarely, simpler book gills are used (as in horseshoe crabs). Most crustaceans assist water movement across the gills with special structures called gill bailers. Smaller arthropods like copepods lack gills and absorb oxygen directly into their bodies. Some insects acquire oxygen using a gas diffusion method from a thin body air layer underwater (replenishing oxygen from water) and have the same structures as terrestrial insects, namely, spiracles, trachea, etc.


What is the process during which water is used to produce sugar and oxygen?

Magic, perhaps?Water cannot be used to produce sugar and oxygen.


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.


Are fish gills sharp?

Fish gills are not sharp in the traditional sense. They are delicate structures used for extracting oxygen from water, similar to how human lungs extract oxygen from the air. However, some fish species have gill rakers, which are thin, comb-like structures that help filter food particles from the water. These gill rakers may feel slightly rough or sharp to the touch.


How does a mosquito get its oxygen?

Mosquitoes obtain oxygen primarily through a process called diffusion. As they breathe, oxygen from the surrounding air enters their bodies through tiny openings in their exoskeleton called spiracles. This oxygen then diffuses into their tissues, where it is used for cellular respiration. In water, mosquito larvae extract oxygen from the surface by using specialized structures like siphons.


What elements are used in making water?

water = H2O Hydrogen and Oxygen


What is used to separate hydrogen and oxygen?

Electrolysis, the passing of electric current through water will separate the water into oxygen and hydrogen molecules.


Can water be used to separate hydrogen and oxygen?

yes


Which gas is used for purification of water?

Commonly ozone is used to purify water. The ozone breaks down into normal molecular oxygen and a free elemental oxygen. The elemental oxygen is very reactive and is able to effectively kill bacteria, purifying the water.


What substance can be used to electrolyze water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen?

The substance that can be used to electrolyze water and separate it into hydrogen and oxygen is an electrolyte, such as potassium hydroxide or sulfuric acid.
