How do fish gills separate oxygen from water?
When we go underwater, we have to fill our lungs with air in order to stay under the water. Whales and dolphins also have lungs and also have to resurface in order to spend any length of time under the water. Fish on the other hand don't have lungs and very rarely rise to the top of the water, so just how do they survive? As you probably already know, fish have gills. The water around the fish produces a tiny amount of oxygen. In order for the fish to be able to stay under the water he needs to be able to take in oxygen. The fish's gills do just this. They filter the oxygen in the water and this enables the fish to be able to breathe in water. If you take a fish out of the water, it will die of suffocation. This is because the oxygen in the air has not been filtered through its gills and the fish can't breathe it in properly. When you find your goldfish lying dead on the top of its bowl, it has probably suffocated from a lack of oxygen because they oxygen has been used up by some other means such as bacteria. So always make sure you clean Jaws' bowl out regularly!
What special adaptations does a tuna have to survive its ecosystem.?
Tuna have streamlined bodies for fast swimming, a strong heart and gills to obtain oxygen from the water, and a counter-current exchange system that helps maintain their body temperature while swimming in cold water. They also have a high metabolic rate and efficient muscles for sustained long-distance swimming.
What does adapted means?
Adapted means to have been changed or modified to suit a different purpose, environment, or situation. It typically refers to something that has been adjusted in order to function better or more effectively in a particular context.
What animals live in mild forest lands?

How alveoli adapted to their jobs?
adapted by having a big surface area so it can absorb more oxygen and it contains lots of oxygen. Also it has very thin tubes for diffusion.
Why do fish gills contains lots of blood vessels?
Fish gills are the equivalent of human lungs. Our lungs, and the fish's gills, are the part of the body that absorb the oxygen we need and expel the carbon dioxide that we nave to get rid of. The way that this happens is through the blood vessels (arteries carry oxygen-rich blood around the body, while veins carry deoxygenated blood) Humans extract oxygen from the air that they breathe into their lungs, while fish obtain their oxygen from the water that passes through their gills.
How do antarctican animals adapt to the climate?
They donr have to they are already adapted by having layers of fat and fur and lots of them have black skin to help absorb heat
Why are gills important to mushroom?
The same as role as lungs, to get oxygen. Only because there is little oxygen in the water the gills have lots of filinents with blood in counter-flow to the water such to maximise surface area and maintain a constant diffusion gradient for the best possible efficiency.
Is their an oxygen in the oceans?
Lots of it. Fish pull it out through their gills. Also in lakes and rivers, too.Of course!! How else do you think the animals (like dolphins) breath??

How do cotton balls soak up oil?
Yes, it does absorb oil but not as well as a sponge or hair. If you need to absorb oil with cotton balls you will need to get lots and lots of them.
Do fish ever get thirsty?
Only if you think they do! Yes. Fish that live in saltwater lose moisture from their bodies through osmosis. These fish need to drink lots of water, or they'll become dehydrated. The extra salt is then simply excreted.
How are salmons adapted to swimming long distances?

How are penguins adapted to live in such a climate?
