उत्तर
Aquatic organisms breathe faster because the amount of oxygen dissolved in water is fairly low compared to the oxygen content in air. To meet their energy demands, they must rapidly pump a larger volume of water across their gills. This high ventilation rate compensates for the limited oxygen availability, ensuring sufficient O2 intake and CO2 removal.
