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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can octopuses breathe air, or do they solely rely on extracting oxygen from water through their gills?
Octopuses rely on extracting oxygen from water through their gills and do not breathe air.
Can an octopus breathe air, or does it solely rely on extracting oxygen from water through its gills?
An octopus relies on extracting oxygen from water through its gills and cannot breathe air.
Fish breathe oxygen which is dissolved in water what kind of solution?
Fish breathe through their gills, extracting dissolved oxygen from water. This process is possible due to the fish having specialized structures in their gills called lamellae, which increase the surface area for gas exchange. The oxygen in water is in the form of a solution, specifically a solution of oxygen gas in water.
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.
Do octopuses need oxygen to survive?
Yes, octopuses need oxygen to survive as they breathe through gills, extracting oxygen from water to support their respiration.
Structures that remove oxygen from water?
Gills
What is the respiratory medium of people and fish?
Humans primarily use air as their respiratory medium, extracting oxygen from the air and releasing carbon dioxide. Fish, on the other hand, use water as their respiratory medium, extracting oxygen from the water through their gills.
Why do lungs work more efficiently than gills in extracting oxygen from air?
Lungs work more efficiently than gills in extracting oxygen from air because they have a larger surface area for gas exchange and a more complex structure that allows for a more efficient transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream. Additionally, the respiratory system in mammals is more adapted to extracting oxygen from the air, which is a richer source of oxygen compared to water.
What structures that help fish get oxygen from water?
The gills
Structures used for obtaining oxygen from water?
The gills.
