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.

Is oxygen in water better than oxygen in the air?

Oxygen in water and oxygen in the air have different levels of availability for organisms to use. Oxygen in water is more readily available to aquatic organisms since it dissolves in water more easily. However, terrestrial organisms, like humans, primarily rely on oxygen in the air for respiration.


Do all organisms need air to survive?

All living organisms need water to survive, because they have cells. With air, not all living organisms need air. Some forms of bacteria do not need oxygen to live, and others can't stand oxygen.


What removes the oxygen from the air?

The process that removes oxygen from the air is called respiration, where living organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Additionally, combustion, such as burning fossil fuels, also removes oxygen from the air.


What do organisms do with the oxygen they absorb from the air?

Organisms use the oxygen they absorb from the air for their cells. The cells need this oxygen in order to carry out their functions.


Why can fish survive in the water?

Fish have gills, which allow them to take oxygen out of the water, just as we take oxygen out of the air, to put it simply.


What is the source from which organisms generally take elements is called?

The source from which organisms generally take elements is called the environment. Organisms obtain essential elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus from air, water, soil, and other living organisms in their environment.


Why air is a better respiratory medium?

the respiratory medium of aquatic and terrestrial organisms are water and air respectively.Aquatic animals get oxygen dissolved in water while terrestrial animals get oxygen from atmospheric air.The oxygen content of air is much higher then the oxygen content of water.The ventilation in water is far more difficult than the ventilation in air because water is denser then air. Thus air is the better respiratory medium then water.


What is the advantage of air as respiratory medium?

Epidermis that release water and oxygen to the air and take in oxygen and carbon dioxide?

yes


Where does the oxygen come from that aquatic organisms need?

If they have gills the animal will take in oygen from the water it breathes...or if it is a mammal that lives underwater it will normally have a blow hole or such which it will rise & breathe in air.


How is the oxygen taken in by the lungs of mammals different from the oxygen taken in by the gills of a fish?

Mammal take in oxygen in the air while fish take in oxygen in the water.


What other organisms make air?

No organisms make "air." Air is the natural atmosphere of the earth. Most of it is nitrogen. Most plants take in carbon-dioxide, and produce oxygen. Most animals take in oxygen, and produce carbon dioxide.
