Question

Briefly describe aquatic respiration and aerial in pila sp.

Answer 1

Pila commonly known as pond snail or apple snail is a gastropod mollusc. They inhabit fresh water pond and lake. They live most of the time in water but can also thrive well on land. So they are really amphibious in nature and exhibit double mode of respi­ration i.e., absorb oxygen from water during aquatic respiration and utilize atmospheric air while living on land.
