Question

Gases Helps Surviving Animals and Plants in Water
Name the property of gases that helps aquatic plants and animals to survive in water.

Answer 1

Diffusion is the process that helps O2 to dissolve in water

Answer 2

Answer:

The property of gases that allow the survival of aquatic plants and animals is diffusion.  

Explanation:

Gases are readily soluble in liquid. The major gas required for the survival of ‘aquatic life’ is oxygen. In aquatic environments, the source of oxygen is from free-floating ‘microscopic plants’ called algae.  

This oxygen is dissolved in the water and taken up by the aquatic “flora and fauna” for their survival. Gaseous exchange that occurs at the cellular level between the plants, animals and the water allow the intake of oxygen.
