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.

There is a pair of bean-shaped organs P in the human body towards the back, just above the waist. A waste product Q formed by the decomposition of unused proteins in the liver is brought into organ P through blood by an artery R. The numerous tiny filters S present in organ P clean the dirty blood by removing the waste product Q. The clean blood goes into circulation through a vein T. The waste substance Q, other waste salts, and excess water form a yellowish liquid U which goes from organ P into a bag-like structure V through two tubes W. This liquid is then thrown out of the body through a tube X.
