What advantage over an aquatic organism does a terrestrial organism have with obtaining oxygen.

1 answer:

5 0

Compared to water, which has 1% dissolved oxygen, the air has around 21% more oxygen. This is a massive advantage for terrestrial organisms if compared with aquatic ones.

The vast difference in the percentage of dissolved oxygen present in the waters and air explains why terrestrial organisms benefit from receiving more oxygen than aquatic ones.

Aquatic species must use oxygen in the water, whereas terrestrial organisms get oxygen from the atmosphere. The high oxygen content of the air means terrestrial animals do not need to breathe more quickly to receive more oxygen. Terrestrial animals do not need to exhibit a variety of adaptations for improved gaseous exchange.

Answer:

The correct answer will be-gas absent in primordial atmosphere (oxygen).

Explanation:

The Miller experiment was performed in 1953 to show that organic molecules can be formed from the inorganic molecules in the conditions resembling the primordial atmosphere.

Same conditions were created to the unstable atmosphere like a mixture of gases which included- methane, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen but lacked oxygen as it was absent in the primordial atmosphere.

Thus, gas absent in the primordial atmosphere (oxygen) is the correct answer.
