Some organisms, such as certain amphibians, worms, and single-celled organisms, can directly absorb oxygen through their skin or cell membranes in a process called diffusion. This method is effective in moist environments where oxygen can easily pass through their surfaces. As long as they have a sufficiently large surface area relative to their volume and live in environments where oxygen is adequately dissolved in water or moisture, they can meet their respiratory needs without specialized structures like lungs or gills.
What else can I help you with?
Does tadpoles use gills and lungs to obtain oxygen?
Yes, in a sense tadpoles use gills and lungs to obtain oxygen. When they first hatch they use gills, Eventually, they become less dependent on the gills as they grow lungs.
What structure that animals use to obtain oxygen?
Lungs, gills and sometimes skin.
Where do amphibians get oxygen?
From there souroundings Amphibians as larvea or tadpoles use gills to obtain oxygen. They then go into a metamorphic stage where they have both gills and developing lungs, and as adult they breath through lungs as we do.
How do squids obtain oxygen?
Squids obtain oxygen through their specialized gills. Water is taken in through the squid's siphon and pumped over the gills where oxygen is extracted and absorbed into their bloodstream. The gills work in a similar way to the lungs of mammals, allowing squids to extract oxygen from the surrounding water.
What does gills mean in science term?
Gills are an organ that fish have, that enables them to obtain oxygen from the water that they are in; it is what fish use instead of lungs.
What is another way amphibians can obtain oxygen other than gills and lungs?
through there skin.....
Do shark have lungs?
No, they have gills.Sharks do not breathe with lungs, but with gills that absorb the oxygen in the water.
What are two characteristics shared by gills and lungs?
capture oxygen and send it through the body, and organisms use them
Do fish get oxygen through gills then to the lungs?
No. They don't have lungs. They only have gills.
How does a hyena gets it oxygen with lungs or gills?
lungs
Do octopus have lungs or gills?
Octopuses have gills, not lungs. They use their gills to extract oxygen from water, allowing them to breathe underwater.
How do amphibians obtain a supply of oxygen for respiration?
Either through their lungs as adults, Gills as larvae, and small amounts of oxygen through their moist skin.
