Answer:

Aquatic organisms breathe faster as compared to terrestrial organisms. This is because the amount of O2 present in the water is very less as compared to the amount of O2 present in the air. That's why aquatic organisms to get more O2, they need to breath faster as compared to terrestrial organisms.

  • The breathing in aquatic organisms is faster than terrestrial organisms.

The amount of oxygen in the water is less as compared to the air.

As water has diffused oxygen.

So,

The aquatic organisms have a faster breathing rate than terrestrial organisms because they get less amount of dissolved oxygen as compared to terrestrial organisms.

They breathe more rapidly to get more oxygen.

Some fishes used to take water through their mouths and it goes to their gills. Here the dissolved oxygen is taken up by the blood which is flowing in blood vessels.

  • Whereas the terrestrial organisms get free air i.e. abundance of oxygen to breathe. So, they don't breath as faster as aquatic organisms.
