Goldfish gills have thin, feathery structures called filaments that are covered in tiny blood vessels. As water passes over the gills, oxygen from the water diffuses into the blood vessels and carbon dioxide from the fish's blood diffuses out into the water. This process allows the goldfish to extract oxygen from the water for respiration.
What else can I help you with?
Why does cold water affect goldfish respiration?
Cold water affects goldfish respiration because it lowers their metabolic rate, leading to decreased oxygen consumption. This reduction in metabolic activity slows down their respiration rate as they require less oxygen to sustain their body functions in cold water. Additionally, cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen, making it easier for goldfish to extract oxygen from the water, further contributing to their decreased respiration rate.
How humans differ from a fish with regards to respiration?
Humans have lungs to extract oxygen from the air. Fish have gills to extract oxygen from the water.
The main function of respiration is to cause?
The main function of respiration is to cause an exchange in the body of carbon dioxide for fresh oxygen. The act of respiration is breathing.
What do all living creatures inhale during respiration?
They inhale air. What they extract from the air is oxygen.
The function of respiration is to take in?
oxygen and release carbon dioxide
What is the function that carries oxygen to the red blood cells?
Respiration.
Where does the Respiration come from?
Respiration is a function in which glusose and oxygen form energy. I do not know what the roots of words are.
Does respiration work on the moon?
No, respiration requires oxygen to extract energy from food through a process involving oxygen as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. The moon does not have a significant atmosphere or oxygen, so respiration cannot occur there.
Do goldfish die without air?
Yes, a goldfish's respiration requires Oxygen in order to work. Without oxygen, the fish's body could not perform essential bodily functions and would thus cause the fish to die. Oddly enough, if you were to put a goldfish in pure oxygen then it would still die. This is because it's gills need water in order to receive oxygen molecules.
What is the function of respiration?
Respiration is the process by which organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This process generates energy for cellular activities through the breakdown of glucose molecules. The primary function of respiration is to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells, which is required for various metabolic processes.
What vital function does oxygen serve in the human body?
The vital function that oxygen serves in the human body is respiration. Oxygen is needed for the lungs to function and for the proper functioning of other vital organs such as the heart and brain.
Why is oxygen important to your blood?
The main function of red blood cells is to carry oxygen to cells to they can undergo respiration.
