Question

What is it called when you are able to breath under water and above land?

Answer 1

Whales cannot breathe underwater because they are mammals and not fish. This means that their breathing organs are lungs, rather than gills. So, like humans, whales need to come to the surface to take a deep breath of fresh air and when they are underwater they hold their breath.



i hope help you

Answer 2

Hii dear here is your answer


Fish "breathe" the dissolved oxygen out of the water using their gills. ... Humans cannot breathe underwaterbecause our lungs do not have enough surface area to absorb enough oxygen from water, and the lining in our lungs is adapted to handle air rather than water.
