What does crustaceans and Moluccas use to carry oxygen round the body instead of haemorrhoid?
Crustaceans and mollusks use a copper-based protein called hemocyanin to carry oxygen in their bodies instead of hemoglobin, which is iron-based. Hemocyanin is found dissolved in their hemolymph, the equivalent of blood in these animals, and gives their blood a blue color when oxygenated. This adaptation allows them to efficiently transport oxygen in their aquatic environments.
What else can I help you with?
What is the structure through which crustacean obtain oxygen?
Crustaceans obtain oxygen through gills.
Which organ do most mollusks and crustaceans use to obtain oxygen?
Gills, in the shell in molluscs, and between the hind legs in crustaceans.
Do crustaceans absorb the CO2 in the sea?
no, they breathe out c0,2 they breathe in the oxygen they can find
Why does most molluscs and crustaceans use haemocyanin to transport oxygen?
it is because they do not have red blood cells .
How do crustaceans breathe?
Crustaceans (true and false crabs, lobsters and prawns etc) need oxygen, just like we do, but instead of using lungs inside the body they use gills outside the body to get it. Gills (and lungs) work because oxygen is a very small molecule. During respiration oxygen molecules first dissolve into a layer of moisture surrounding a thin membrane. Then the oxygen molecules, because they are so small, cross right through the membrane into the circulatory system (the blood) of the animal. The source of the oxygen can either be as gas in the air or already dissolved in another liquid - like the sea. It doesn't matter where the oxygen originally comes from, the most important factor in respiration is that the surface the oxygen molecules cross is wet. In decapods (10-legged crustaceans like crabs and lobsters) the gills are protected because they are enclosed in a chamber under the sides of the carapace (the hard shell that covers the head and thorax). Crustaceans that live in water have no trouble keeping their gills moist. Crustaceans that live on land or on rocky shores where the tide comes and goes keep their gills wet by using fluids from inside the body and by having the chamber well sealed so that very little moisture is lost. The gills themselves are feathery structures at the tops of the walking legs of decapod crustaceans. They are derived from part of the jointed walking leg.

Can you drink instead of breathe oxygen?
no
What does spirogyra get from oxygen?
They don't use up oxygen since they are green and produce oxygen instead.
What is a form of oxygen that has three oxygen atoms in each molecule instead of the usual two?
Ozone is a form of oxygen that has three oxygen atoms in each molecule instead of the usual two. It is formed in the atmosphere when oxygen molecules (O2) are broken apart by ultraviolet radiation and the resulting oxygen atoms combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone (O3).
Why 1g of Hb bind to 1.34ml of Oxygen instead 1.39 at full saturation?
1g of Hb can bind with 1.34mL of oxygen instead 1.39 at full saturation because it does so at normal oxygen capacity.
What organ does not recieive oxygen from blood?
The cornea in the eye does not receive oxygen from blood. Instead, it gets its oxygen directly from the air.
What is a form of oxygen that has three atoms of oxygen in each molecule instead of two?
It is called "ozone".
Which does not give oxygen on heating?
Mercury(II) oxide does not give off oxygen when heated; instead, it decomposes into mercury and oxygen gas.
