Solution
- Fish extracts the oxygen from the water and expels water through the gills. Fish can survive in water only through the dissolved oxygen present in water.
- Aquatic plants make use of dissolved carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
- Carbon dioxide dissolved in water reacts with limestone to form calcium bicarbonate.
- Marine organisms such as snails, oysters, etc., extract calcium carbonate from calcium bicarbonate to build their shells.
