Branchial respiration is found in which of these animals - 

Branchial respiration is found in which of these animals -  Correct Answer Prawn and cyclopes

Concept-

The process of exchange of O2 from the atmosphere with CO2 produced by the cells is called breathing, commonly known as respiration.

Respiratory Organs Examples
General body surface Sponges, Coelenterates, Flatworms
Moist cuticle Earthworm, Frogs
Tracheal tubes Insects
Gills Aquatic arthropods, Molluscs, Fishes
Lungs Reptiles, Birds, Mammals
Explanation-
  • A Gill is a respiratory organ found in many aquatic animals.
  • Gill extracts dissolved oxygen from water and excretes carbon dioxide. 
  • Branchia is the zoologists' name for gills.
  • Respiration over the gills is called Branchial respiration. 

Prawn and cyclopes are crustaceans that belong to the phylum Arthropoda in which respiration occurs through gills called Branchial respiration.

Additional Information

  • Cutaneous respiration takes place in earthworms.
  • The gas exchange that occurs via the alveoli in the lungs is called pulmonary respiration. Examples are birds and mammals.

Read the given passage and answer the question that question that follow. Even though zoos are criticised for keeping animals in captivity, they also play an important role by preserving many endangered species. If these animals are left on the mercy of the wild, they would not be able to survive. Also, animals in zoos are provided sufficient food and their needs are taken care of by the authorities. Apart from this, zoos allow people to study animals and their behaviour and thus, facilitate research. Which of the following argument could be made from the above passage?
