Why do fish have gills​

Biology
1 answer:
Marta_Voda [28]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: Like us, fish also need to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide in order to survive. But instead of lungs, they use gills. ... As the fish opens its mouth, water runs over the gills, and blood in the capillaries picks up oxygen that's dissolved in the water.

Of the following choices, what is the approximate LD50 of the least toxic substance? 20 mg/kg, 70 mg/kg, or 130 mg/kg
pychu [463]

The approximate LD50 of the least toxic substance will be 130 mg/Kg.

  • The dose necessary to cause the death of 50% of a population under test after a predetermined test period is known as the LD50 value for a drug.
  • Commonly used as a broad indicator of a substance's acute toxicity are LD50 values.
  • Greater toxicity is indicated by a lower LD50. A low LD50 of 500 mg/kg or less implies severe toxicity.
  • Moderate toxicity is indicated by an LD50 of 500 to 1,000 mg/kg. A modest toxicity level of 1,000 to 2,000 mg/kg is indicated.
  • The species is especially vulnerable to the poison if the LD50 is low. The lethal dose (LD50) of a specific poison might change significantly between several animal species.
  • Thus out of all the options, LD50 130 mg/kg will have the lowest toxicity and 20 mg/kg will be the highest.
