Question

why is the rate of respiration and breathing is faster in aquatic animal as compared to Terrestrial animals

Answer 1

It is because the rate of oxygen is low in water as compared to air so they need to respire fast

Answer 2

HERE IS THE ANSWER;

◆ The rate of respiration in aquatic animals is fater than compared to terrestrial because in aquatic animals such as fishes, the oxygen is directly mixed in the blood from the gills by some specialised organ.

◆This is not the case with terristrial animals in which blood is oxygenated and processed further.
