Why do fishes die when taken out of water?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Fish do not have lungs that can utilise the oxygen of the air for breathing and respiration. The fish have gills. Gills can only extract the dissolved oxygen from water and provide it to the fish. Gills cannot take in the oxygen from the air. Since fish do not get oxygen for breathing when taken out of water, they die.

When a person breathes in the air, the air enters into his body through an organ A having two holes B in it. The air then passes through the pharynx and larynx and enters into tube C. The tube C divides into two smaller tubes D at its lower end. The two smaller tubes are attached to two respiratory organs E. Each smaller tube divides inside the organs E to form a large number of still smaller tubes called F. The smallest tubes F have air-sacs G at their ends in which gaseous exchange takes place in the body of the person. What are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G?
An animal in which the oxygenation of blood does not take place in the lungs is:
