Oxygen is still present in water and soil but is of a less concentrated amount than air. Plants which thrive underwater like algae for example have adapted to this. Plants which live under water still takes in oxygen but a lot less than that of a plant which thrives on-land. Algae is a specific species which helps other plants underwater to thrive. Algae is the single biggest producer of oxygen on the planet (the earth's algae population produce more oxygen than all the rain forests put together. So their presence is essential to the oxygenation of the water. Due to the lack of oxygen in water compared to above water, other species like sharks for example have adapted to this. The gills of a shark act as a filter, sucking in water and absorbing the oxygen particles. There is oxygen present in soil but without the presence of living species there would be a lot less. Take a worm for example, worms absorb oxygen through their skin, as they then burrow into the soil they exhale excess oxygen. Also when creatures die underground, oxygen and carbon dioxide is given off, which enriches the soil with more nutrients which is essential for other life-forms to thrive.
What else can I help you with?
How does air protect living things?
It gives animals oxygen
Do animals only need oxygen?
even plants and most of the living organisms need oxygen
What process are oxygen atoms made available to the cells of animals?
Oxygen atoms are made available to the cells of animals through respiration. During respiration, animals breathe in oxygen from the atmosphere, which is then transported by the circulatory system to cells where it is used in cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP.
How has deforestation affected living things on earth?
You need trees for oxygen. Animals die and lose their home,
What living things use the oxygen?
People and animal use the oxygenAll animals require oxygen in some form.
Why animals need air?
Because every living thing needs oxygen
What is a living organism that produce oxygen and food that animals need?
Living organisms that produce oxygen and food that animals need are called producers. For example, plants are producers because they make their own food.
What happens to the amount of carbon hydrogen and oxygen in animals when water is not available?
When water is not available, animals can become dehydrated, leading to higher concentrations of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in their bodies. This is due to the loss of water content in the body, which can cause an increase in the relative proportions of these elements. Dehydration can affect the balance of these elements, as well as other vital functions in the body.
Why completely submerged plants are helpful to animals living in a pond?
In the case of fish in a pond, completely submerged plants are helpful in that they add oxygen to the water and offer a food source. They also add oxygen to the air surrounding the pond for lunged animals that live there.
What are the some resource obtained from living air the earth and the oceans?
Oxygen is available in all three, essential to living
Why animals living in the water breath faster as compared to land animals?
because there are less amount of dissolved oxygen in water so that aquatic animals breathe more faster in order to get more oxygen.
What is living thing need to live?
most animals need food, water, and oxygen
