WHY FISH out of water suffocate although water contain 5 to 10ml o2 compared with air about 210mlo2?
The reason is because the fishes gills have gill stacks inside. These gill stacks are like sheets of paper. They increase the surface area for the oxygen intake as fish have a constant supply of water over the gills the gill stacks do not stick together. When taken out of the water the gill stacks stick together and the fish suffocates as the surface area for oxygen uptake decreases. Some special fish that belong to a group called anabantids, these have an organ called the labyrinth. The labyrinth organ allows them to breathe atmospheric air or oxygen depleted water these are the only fish I know of that can breathe atmospheric air.

Function of the fish gill rakers?
The gill rakers on fish keep food particles from moving out from in between the gill arches. For filter feeding fish and some suspension feeding fish, the gill rakers function is to trap the food.
What contains inner membranes arranged in stacks of membranous sacs called grana in a cell?
Chloroplasts contain inner membranes arranged in stacks of membranous sacs called grana in a cell. Grana are where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur, with the pigment chlorophyll capturing and converting light energy into chemical energy.
What are the parts of the thylakoid membranes arranged in stacks called?
One stack is a granum. Two or more stacks are called grana.
Flat discs inside chloroplasts arranged in stacks?
These are thylakoids, which contain chlorophyll and are the sites of photosynthesis in chloroplasts. Thylakoids are arranged in stacks known as grana, where light reactions of photosynthesis occur.
