Rabbit have a lungs or gills?

Rabbits, like all mammals, have lungs, not gills. Lungs are the respiratory organs of mammals, including rabbits, and they are adapted for breathing air. Gills, on the other hand, are the respiratory organs of aquatic animals such as fish and some amphibians. Gills are specialized for extracting oxygen from water, whereas lungs are designed for extracting oxygen from the air. Rabbits breathe by inhaling air through their nostrils, which then passes into their lungs, where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide in the blood.


Do organisms take oxygen from the air and the water?

Yes organisms take oxygen from the air and aquatic organisms take oxygen from the water using their gills. Some do. Most only from one or the other. For example a tuna fish gets pretty much all its oxygen from oxygen dissolved in water. Humans get all our oxygen from the air. Mudskippers get oxygen from both. Yes. Land animals take in oxygen that plants release using their noses. On the other hand, aquatic or marine animals take in oxygen using their gills.


Does a fish turn water into oxygen?

No, not at all. Most fish extract the oxygen that is dissolved in the water, not the oxygen that is bound to hydrogen in the formation of water. This is one reason that most aquariums have an aerator bubbling away - it is adding oxygen to be dissolved by the water.


How does a sea star breathe?

This depends on the organisms, but many things that live in the sea breathe through gills. There is oxygen in the water so they take in water and they will diffuse the oxygen out of the water into their cells.


How do land animals and underwater animals get air?

Animals living in land are called terrestrial animals .All terrestrial animals breathe through their nostrils.but they respire through their lungs.aquatic animals such as fishes breathe through their gills.Gills a re the projections from their skin,they are themselves well supplied with oxygen.Amphibians such as frogs crocodiles crabs etc can live in both land and water.they do have lungs to breathe in land but in water, they breathe through their skin.insects like grass hoppers cockroaches etc. breathe through spiracles.Spiracles are just like our nostrils.they are holes by which they exchange gases.{oxygen and carbon dioxide}.But originally insects respire through trachea.The earth worms are insects that only breathe through their skin.Their skin are slimy and watery so gases can easily pass through them. improvements crocodiles and crabs are not amphibia gills are not projection from skin in all aquatic animals nostrils and spiracles are part of respiratory system not a separate thing.

Oysters have gills. They absorb oxygen from the water.


Does a whale shark breathe from oxygen?

Can a clam breathe under water?

Yes. All aquatic animals have respiratory organs of one sort or another - usually gills - to absorb dissolved oxygen from the water.


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.


What does the fish breath with?

Fish breathe using their gills. Gills are respiratory organs that extract oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide. Water passes through the fish's mouth and flows over the gills, allowing the fish to absorb oxygen from the water.


How does fishes breathe?

All fish breath through their gills, there is oxygen in water, as such, they take the oxygen through their gills.


How does a shark take in oxygen?

Sharks use gills to extract oxygen from water. As water flows over their gills, oxygen is absorbed into their bloodstream and carbon dioxide is released back into the water. Sharks must keep swimming to ensure a constant flow of oxygen-rich water over their gills.

How do bass breathe?

Bass breathe by extracting oxygen from the water through their gills. They take in water through their mouth, which passes over the gills where oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released. This allows them to extract oxygen for respiration.


Do river otters breathe oxygen in the air or the water?

No they do not. That's why they come up every once in a while. Mammals are animals that MUST breathe air to survive. All otters areammals


What carries oxygen to all the cells in a fish?

Gills carry oxygen fish need directly from the water


Do all mammal breath oxygen in water?

Yes, all animals that live in the water breath air bubbles. without air bubbles the fish will die. some animals in that water can go for a longer amount of time with out air. example dolphins.
