प्रश्न
What advantage over an aquatic organism does a terrestrial organism have with regard to obtaining oxygen for respiration?
Advertisements
उत्तर १
Terrestrial organisms take up oxygen from the atmosphere whereas aquatic animals obtain oxygen from water. Air contains more O2 as compared to water. Since the content of O2 in air is high, the terrestrial animals do not have to breathe faster to get more oxygen. Therefore, unlike aquatic animals, terrestrial animals do not need adaptations for gaseous exchange.
