If babies can breathe in water in your belly then why cant we breathe under water?
Babies don't breathe the water in the womb. Their mothers breathe for them, and supply them with oxygen through the umbilical cord. Babies don't start breathing until they are born. Humans, well no mammal can breathe water, because our lungs can't get any oxygen from it. Although they do the same job, gills work in a slightly different manner, which allows fish to get oxygen from the water the way we get it from the air.
If there is oxygen in water why can't we breathe underwater?
If you recall from basis chemistry, water is made up of 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen. The reason why we can't breathe underwater is because the oxygen molecule is already bound to the hydrogen molecules. Oxygen in this form is useless to our lungs. Our lungs can't extract oxygen from water
Where in a frog does gas exchange take place?
Through gills in the water. As they mature, they develop lungs.

Tadpoles are true aquatic creatures and breathe through gills, like fish. As they begin to develop into frogs they grow lungs and lose their gills until they must breathe air like other land animals.Tadpoles are the first stage of life for frogs and toads once they hatch out of their eggs.

What helps seaweed survive under the water?
Seaweed can grow under water because the photosynthesis in the water from the sunlight that gets in the water could make plants grow. Seaweed doesn't have stems or anything it is held by rocks that grows so simply in water because of the algae since there basically a larger form of algae. It absorbs carbon dioxide, minerals, and sunlight for photosynthesis that's why bubbles come up to the surface of the water. They are considered as a plant in water and algae is a very important plant too. Algae makes a big part in photosynthesis and gives off oxygen and helps us breathe.
