Solution

The amount of dissolved oxygen is fairly low compared to the amount of oxygen in the air. Animals living in water need use the oxygen dissolved in water.rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is much faster than in terrestrial organisms. Thus terrestrial organisms can have better utilization of food by way of respiration.
