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.


Can humans breathe oxygen and hydrogen combine?

Humans cannot breathe a combination of pure oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen is necessary for respiration, but hydrogen is highly flammable and not suitable for breathing. Mixing the two gases is dangerous and can create a potential explosion hazard.


How do you dissolve oxygen in water?

By bubbling oxygen (or air) through the water, splashing water through the air (waterfall). That is where the oxygen that fish breathe comes from. It is separate from the oxygen that was chemically combined with hydrogen to form the water.


Is it good to have dissolved oxygen in water?

Well,it depends. If you are talking about if things are going to live in the water such as fish, then yes. Although, aquatic plants like algae need Carbon dioxide dissolved in the water just like plants on land do. However, it will not cause any noticeable effects if you dissolve oxygen in water.


Why don't fish live very long in water that has been boiled and brought back to room temperature?

Fish can't survive in boiled water because they are cold-blooded animals. Their bodies adapt on the temperature of their environments. Another reason is, the temperature of boiled water is beyond the normal temperature of their environment.a2. Ahem, I think the Q concerned boiled water, not boiling water. The outcome is the same as above, but in this case, because even if the water was cooled again, it would be quite deficient in dissolved air. From a fishes point of view that is.

How do fish breathe underwater?

Fish breathe underwater using their gills. As water passes over their gills, oxygen is absorbed from the water and carbon dioxide is released. This process allows fish to extract oxygen from the water and breathe efficiently.


What does a fish gill remove from the water?

Oxygen to breathe


Why does water has many oxygen?

yes fish breathe from it


Fish breathe what?

Fish, like all animals, require oxygen to live. They get their oxygen by filtering it out of the water using their gills, so you could say that they breathe water.


Are there animals that really breathe fire?

Fish breathe oxygen, which they extract from the water with their gills.


How do fish breathe in water?

Fish breathe through their gills, which are specialized organs that extract oxygen from water. As fish swim, water passes over their gills, where oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released. This process allows fish to extract oxygen from water and use it for respiration.


Why does fish breathe underwater?

fish breath under water because in water oxygen is mixed.


Can fish breathe underwater?

Yes they breathe through their gills using the oxygen in the water.


You think you drowned your fish is it possible?

Kind of. Fish need to breathe water to get oxygen. If they can't breathe, or if the water has too little oxygen dissolved in it, the fish will die from lack of oxygen (I would say suffocate; you may say drown).


Do crab breathe through gills?

Yes, they breathe to extract oxygen from the water like a fish.


How do animals that are not mammals get oxygen?

for example, fish: fish actually breathe water but they don't breathe it like humans do it just passes through their gills and i think water also has some oxygen in it.


What animals breathe oxygen?

Every animal breathes oxygen, even fish (they obtain it by the oxygen in the water).
