why is the rate of breathing in aquatic organisms much faster faster than in Terrestrial organisms
Answers
Answer:
Yes this is true that the rate of breathing in aquatic organisms are much higher then terrestrial animals
Explanation:
The aquatic animals respire from the oxygen dissolved in water
the level ofoxygen dissolved in water is very low
so to fullfill the requirement of oxygen the breathing rate becomes high
but terrestrial animals don't depends on dissolved oxygen they have freely oxygen present in atmosphere
so that is why aquatic amimals have higher breathing rate then terrestrial animals
hope this will help you
Answer...
the rate of breathing in aquatic organisms much faster faster than in Terrestrial organisms because the oxygen dissolved in water is much lesser than that present in the air .
So , to compensate the requirement of oxygen the aquatic animals have to increase their breathing rate .
