Answer 1

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.

Explanation:

The rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is much faster than in terrestrial organisms because the amount of dissolved oxygen is fairly lower in water than air and also that aquatic organisms like the fishes obtain oxygen from water present in the dissolved state.
