No, fish typically do not have nuclei in their red blood cells. Most mature fish red blood cells are enucleated, meaning they do not contain a nucleus. This allows for more efficient oxygen transport in their bloodstream.
All fish and all animals need to bring oxygen to the cells. The oxygen is a major portion in the production of something called ATP. ATP is the actual little energy 'battery' that each cell needs to function.
Cold water affects goldfish respiration because it lowers their metabolic rate, leading to decreased oxygen consumption. This reduction in metabolic activity slows down their respiration rate as they require less oxygen to sustain their body functions in cold water. Additionally, cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen, making it easier for goldfish to extract oxygen from the water, further contributing to their decreased respiration rate.
since fish live in water and it face some problems in ventilation where it getoxygen from water where oxygen concentration of oxygen in water is small hence large amount of water must pass to the gills so as to supply sufficient oxygen for metabolic activities on doing that fish use more energy since water is very viscous which make it not easily to flow in the gill so fish use more energy to over come this friction
Through their gills, fish take in oxygen that is dissolved in water. This oxygen is then carried by blood cells to the other cells in the fish's body.Oxygen is dissolved in water. The fish needs to get this oxygen into it's bloodstream.This occurs passively by diffusion across the gills. At the gills only a thin membrane separates the blood from the water. Oxygen moves from the water across the membrane into the bloodstream.The greater the concentration difference between the water and blood, the faster the rate of transfer. By pumping blood across the gills (circulatory system), the blood exposed is consistently oxygen depleted, and thus concentration difference remains high and oxygen transfer rate is maximised.If blood wasn't flowing the blood at gills would become oxygenated and then mass transfer would stop. Another way of looking at it is that oxygen would start diffusing out of blood as fast as oxygen diffuses in to blood.Basically, circulatory system keeps 'fresh' blood at gills so it can keep absorbing oxygen.
Blood transports oxygen nutrients and wastes in mammals and fish .
Gills carry oxygen fish need directly from the water
A fish uses aerobic cellular respiration to break down glucose into ATP molecules, which provide energy for the fish's cells. During this process, oxygen is utilized to help convert glucose into ATP through a series of reactions in the mitochondria of the fish's cells. This allows the fish to sustain its metabolic activities and carry out essential functions for survival.
No, fish typically do not have nuclei in their red blood cells. Most mature fish red blood cells are enucleated, meaning they do not contain a nucleus. This allows for more efficient oxygen transport in their bloodstream.
The breakdown of organic wastes can decrease oxygen levels in water bodies, leading to hypoxia or oxygen depletion, which can harm aquatic organisms such as fish. It can also release nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus into the water, which can contribute to eutrophication and algal blooms. Additionally, the breakdown of organic wastes can produce foul odors and negatively impact water quality.
Yes, they do. Fish do not need to create urea or uric acid in order to excrete their wastes because they live in water, they can simply excrete the waste out of their gills, which requires less energy than having to create uric acid etc.
To incease the surface area of the gills so more oxygen can be diffused from the water the fish swims in into there bloodstream where the oxygen can be carried the fish's cells for cellular respiration
probably to facilitate diffusion of molecular oxygen from the air into the fish's bloodstream
Besides interfering with oxygen transfer on its' gills the salt water will cause the cells of the fish to retain fluid making the pressure within the cells greater than the pressure outside the cells. Ideally the water a fish swims in will keep its' body in homeostasis where the pressure both inside and outside the cells of the body is equal.
they run the water thru their gills while the special cells in their gill collect the oxygen molecules from the water.
Between 55F and 65F is good. When the water goes over 65F and up to 70F the fish are likely to come into breeding mode. Over 70F and the fish will be prone to shortage of oxygen and may burn out through an increase in their metabolic rate.
fish swim for oxygen.
