Question

Why is the rate of breathing in aquatic organisms much faster than that seen in terrestrial organisms by studyrankers?

Answer 1

Hey! here is answer

A terrestrial organism can obtain oxygen directly from the air and has slow breathing rate whereas an aquatic animal like fish has bills as their respiratory organ which can extract oxygen dissolved in water. Oxygen is fairly low compared to the amount of oxygen in the air. so, the breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than in terrestrial organisms.

If my answer was helpful please mark it as brainliest!!

Answer 2

Aquatic animals take in the oxygen dissolved in water. The amount of dissolved oxygen in water is fairly low compared to the amount of oxygen in the air. Therefore, rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is much faster than in terrestrial organisms.
