Crabs, like all living organisms, require respiration to obtain oxygen, which is essential for cellular respiration and energy production. They have specialized gills that extract oxygen from water, allowing them to convert food into energy. This energy is crucial for their survival, growth, and reproduction. Additionally, respiration helps eliminate carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, maintaining their internal environment.
