What advantage over an aquatic organism does a terrestrial organism have with regard to obtaining oxygen for respiration?
Answers
Hey mate here's your answer ...
Answer:
Terrestrial organisms take up oxygen from the atmosphere where as aquatic animals obtain oxygen from water. Air contains more O2 as compared to water. Since the content of O2 in air is high , the terrestrial do not have to breathe faster to get more oxygen.
Animals living in water need use the oxygen dissolved in water. However the amount of dissolved oxygen is fairly low compared to the amount of oxygen in the air .
I hope it'll help you buddy
If u can, please mark this as brainlist ✌️
Aquatic organisms use oxygen dissolved in surrounding water . Since air dissolved in water has fairly low concentration of oxygen , the aquatic organisms have much faster rate of breathing .
Terrestrial organisms take oxygen from
the oxygen-rich atmosphere through
respiratory organs . Hence , they have
much less breathing rate than aquatic
organisms .
