Dissolved oxygen (DO) is the amount of oxygen that is present in the water. Worms, fish, crabs and other underwater animals use gills to get oxygen from the water. Scientists generally agree that the underwater creatures need dissolved oxygen concentrations of 5.0 mg/L or more to live and thrive
What else can I help you with?
Do you breathe water?
We do not breathe in the water as we can't breathe dissolved oxygen.Dissolved oxygen are oxygen that are dissolved into the water.
What gas that you breathe necessary for life is also dissolved in ocean water?
Your Answer: Oxygen Correct Did you know:Fish breathe by extracting the dissolved oxygen in the water they swim in.
Do amphibians breathe oxygen?
Yes the oxygen they breathe Is ALMOST dissolved in the water, so you can only breathe it with gills. Hop I answered your question. Thanks
What does tapdole breathe?
Tadpoles breath the dissolved oxygen in the water.
How do mosquito larvae breathe when they on water?
The larva that emerges out of every egg is known as a wriggler. The wriggler floats upside down to the surface of the water. It breathes through a breathing tube that is at the end of its abdomen. The breathing tube protrudes from the surface of the water, allowing the wriggler to breathe.
What do plants breathe in under water?
dissolved oxygen in water that is absorbed by the gills.
Does fishes breathe carbon dioxide?
No, they filter the dissolved oxygen through their gills.
Does crab breathe in dissolved oxygen?
Yes, hence some species are able to live at great depths in the oceans
What does tubifex worm breathe through?
Tubifex worms breathe through their soft, thin skin that can take in dissolved oxygen.
How does shark breathe in oxygen?
Like all fish, sharks extract dissolved oxygen from the water through their gills.
What is the importance of dissolved oxygen?
Dissolved oxygen, in the oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes is what allows fish to breathe. Without it, they die, and the food chain falls mostly apart.
What does a wriggler eat?
Wrigglers (mosquito larva) eat vegetable detritus, and "biofilm" algae and fungi. They eat below the surface, the only thing they stick above the water is their small breathing tube they use for inhaling oxygen. They only breathe when they are born in oxygen-depleated water, otherwise, they use their gills to breathe.
