Question

Why is the rate of respiration in aquatic organisms faster than those of terrestrial organisms?

Answer 1

Answer:the rate of respiration in aquatic organisms faster than those of terrestrial organisms because the animal which live in water use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration . since the amount of dissolve oxygen is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in air.

Explanation:

Answer 2

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 .
