Most fish exchange gases using gills<span> on either side of the </span>pharynx<span> (throat). Gills are tissues which consist of threadlike protein structures called </span>filaments. These filaments have many functions including the transfer of ions and water, as well as the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, acids and ammonia.<span>Each filament contains a </span>capillary<span> network that provides a large </span>surface area<span> for exchanging </span>oxygen<span> and </span>carbon dioxide<span>. Fish exchange gases by pulling oxygen-rich water through their mouths and pumping it over their gills. In some fish, capillary blood flows in the opposite direction to the water, causing </span>countercurrent exchange<span>. The gills push the oxygen-poor water out through openings in the sides of the pharynx. Some fish, like </span>sharks<span> and </span>lampreys<span>, possess multiple gill openings.</span>

romanna [79]
It would have 20 protons, 20 neutrons, and 20 electrons. Protons and electrons are USUALLY (I say usually because of the different types of atoms) the same as the atomic number. To find neutrons you take the atomic mass minus the atomic number. 40-20=20

Plants move water from the roots of the plant to the leaves through transpiration. As water evaporates from the leaf, cohesion p
adoni [48]

Answer:

Stomata are the organs present on the stem and leaves of the plant and help in the gaseous exchange and evaporating water present in the aerial parts of the plant. Mainly leaves stomata plays role in gaseous exchange and transpiration which is the evaporation of the aerial water of plants by opening and closing the stomata. Stomata are small pores mostly and normally present under the leaves and regulated by the guard cells, dum bell shaped cells to close or close it.

Other than closing and opening the stomata, stomata density also can affect the rate of gas exchange as well as transpiration. Stomata density is the presence of the numbers of the stomata per unit area. In heat or sunny area the stomata density is higher than the shady or dark area to increase the transpiration in order to cool down the leaves of the plant which prevent the chloroplast proteins to denature.
