What arthropod structures are uses for extracting oxygen from water?

The commonest arthropod structures for extracting oxygen from water would be gills, are protected inside a body cavity with ventral openings; rarely, simpler book gills are used (as in horseshoe crabs). Most crustaceans assist water movement across the gills with special structures called gill bailers. Smaller arthropods like copepods lack gills and absorb oxygen directly into their bodies. Some insects acquire oxygen using a gas diffusion method from a thin body air layer underwater (replenishing oxygen from water) and have the same structures as terrestrial insects, namely, spiracles, trachea, etc.

Is there more oxygen in shallow water then deep water?
No. There is more oxygen in deeper water.
What is a marine arthropod?
The most well-known ones are crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, water fleas etc. but also barnacles!)
What has legs and lives near water and is an arthropod but has a hard shell?
There is a species of CRAYFISH that forms burrows with mud "chimneys". It may walk from the burrow so it is on land but "near water".
Is water in the oxygen you breathe?
What we breathe is air, and oxygen is just 20% of the air. Oxygen does not contain water, it is an element and it contains only itself. However, air does contain some water vapor.
Why does cold water hold more oxygen?
The solubility of oxygen in water is temperature-dependent, and about twice as much (14.6 mg·L−1) dissolves at 0 °C than at 20 °C. To illustrate, recall bubbles forming in a pot of water right before it begins to boil; these bubbles are oxygen that was dissolved at room temperature, but is being ejected as the temperature rises. Oxygen can slip into the crevasses or “holes” that exist in the loose hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules without forcing them apart. A very physical perspective on solubility of oxygen in water is that when the water is colder, the water molecules move less, and the oxygen remains trapped in the aqueous solution.
What are two ways that animals get oxygen?
breathing their lungs and extracting it from water using gills
What gas that you breathe necessary for life is also dissolved in ocean water?
Your Answer: Oxygen Correct Did you know:Fish breathe by extracting the dissolved oxygen in the water they swim in.
Why do fish use 15 percent of their energy to move water over its gills?
To breath by extracting oxygen from the water.
Structures that remove oxygen from water?
Gills
Does water put oxygen in your body?
No. We cannot get oxygen from water. The oxygen that forms part of the water itself is locked away in H2O molecules and our bodies have no way of extracting it. Most water does contain dissolved oxygen, but since we do not have gills we cannot extract that either.
What structures that help fish get oxygen from water?
The gills
Structures used for obtaining oxygen from water?
The gills.
Is oxygen insoluble in water?
Oxygen is soluble in water (dissolves in water). This is the basis for marine animals who breathe through gills and similar structures to get their oxygen.
How can you get oxygen from water?
Electrolysis is an appropriate method for extracting gaseous O2 from water. The electrolysis of water gives:2H2O(l) > 2H2(g) + O2(g)
Why do human breathing system not work in water?
Because our bodies are adapted to inhaling gasses (air) and extracting the oxygen - rather than absorbing it from water.
How do fish suit there environment?
Fish suit their environment because they can breath under water by extracting oxygen through their gills.
What is the major difference in the respiratory system of a perch compared with that of a frog a pigeon and a pig?
The respiratory system of a perch involves extracting oxygen from the water. Frogs can extract oxygen from water and air while pigeons and pigs can only breathe in air.
