Fish pull water in through their gills and filter it in the gill rakers. Then the water is forced through the gill filaments. These project out into the flow of the water, allowing the water to cross the lamellae. This results in what is called the "gas exchange". This is when oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide. The oxygen enters the blood stream directly when it moves over the capillary membrane. The carbon dioxide leaves the body with the flow of water out the operculum.

How is a fish specialy adapted to exchange gases by diffusion?
XD
How does shark exchange gases?
Like all fish- through their gills.
What is the breathing method of a bony fish?
Same as all the other fish. Water over gills, gills pull out needed gases and dispose of waste gases.
What does fish and young amphibians have that exchange gases with the water?
No it did not because i still did not get my answer i dont really like ask
How do fish take in gases?
Fish breath (take in and exchange gasses) by passing water through their gill membranes which do the same job as our lung membranes.
Where the exchange of gases is take place in the fish?
Across the alveoli and capillaries.
What happenes to jaws and larynx during breathing and swallowing in fish?
The jaws and larynx during breathing and swallowing in fish, contracts. The jaws suck in, and the larynx contracts and closes temporarily while the breath is happening.
What body parts do different animals use for breathing?
Generally the body parts used for breathing (exchanging gases with the atmosphere for respiration) are:lungs in most larger animals (mammals, reptile, birds)gills in aquatic animals (fish, amphibians, cephalopods)diffuse tracheal systems (insects)some animals use secondary methods of breathing as their gills or lungs are not sufficient for their needs (animals such as frogs and eels) they use their skin to supplement the gas exchange
Do fish let out gases?
Fish let out natural gases. That gas is oxygen but they do not let out methane or any other gases.
Why doesn't a fish fill up with water while its breathing?
because it has gills that filter out the water and leave the air.
How can you tell a fish is not breathing?
Fish breath underwater
What is the difference during the exchange of gases by the stomata and the gills?
Opening and closing of stomata depends on the turgid and flaccid conditions of the guard cells.If they are turgid they provide space for the passage of gases through it.While in the case of fish,it takes water in through its mouth and then passes it over the gills. there is an exchange of gases and expels out through gill covers. Here there is no usage of turgidity or turgor pressure. Great AnswerReport
