Water does have sufficient dissolved oxygen to sustain aquatic life. This is true because aquatic life has adapted to the limited oxygen using gills.

How do dissolved gases get in ocean water?
The main dissolved gases found in the ocean include, but are not limited to: carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen. Dissolved gases, especially oxygen, are important, since it provides dissolved oxygen for aquatic organisms to "breathe" in. Also, the carbon dioxide dissolved in the ocean helps lessen the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment.
Why are dissolved oxygen levels important when studying aquatic ecosystems?
The metabolism of an organism, whether land based or aquatic, generates useful chemical energy through the oxidation of chemicals such as carbohydrates. This requires oxygen. Land based animals acquire oxygen from the air; fish acquire oxygen from the water. In order for them to be able to do this, they need to have oxygen dissolved in the water. In water that has no dissolved oxygen, fish suffocate.
Which best explains the importance of dissolved gases in the ocean?
They help provide oxygen for aquatic animals. !
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.
What is the oxygen dissolved in water is a?
The oxygen dissolved in water is a measure of dissolved oxygen (DO).
Do all aquatic animals breathe oxygen dissolved in water?
All except for aquatic mammals such as dolphins and whales and reptiles such as snakes and turtles.

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.

An aquatic environments water blank refers to the amount of dissolved salts nutrient's and oxygen in the water?
An aquatic environment's water CHEMISTRY refers to the amount of dissolved salts, nutrients, and oxygen in the water. If you are in Mr. Sarau's class...nice going. haha
Do aquatic plants and animals breathe in Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide?
well oxygen dissolves in the water and makes it dissolved oxygen and so they still take in regular oxygen just mixed with water
Which best explains the importance of dissolved gases in the ocean?
They help provide oxygen for aquatic animals. !
What uses dissolved oxygen?
i might say probably fishes to breathe and also aquatic plants
How are mineral salts and oxygen beneficial for aquatic life?
Yes. Marine animals breathe in the oxygen dissolved in the water and thus can live.
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.
How oxygen is active part of air?
All living beings need oxygen for respiration is essential for combustion . Oxygen dissolved in water supports aquatic life.
What are the effects of hot water on aquatic life?
It is because the warm water has low amount of dissolved oxygen and organism can survive without oxygen.
