Every living organism take breathing that means take air from the nose and exit it out through the nose. Respiration can be termed as gaseous exchange, basically two types of gases are exchanged such as Oxygen and Carbon dioxide. If person is breathing that means 2 basic processes are carried out.
1.) Inhalation : Inhalation means taking air more specifically oxygen from the surrounding.
2.) Exhalation : Exhalation means give the Carbon dioxide to external environment.
Respiration in animals can be termed gaseous exchange occurring in animals through various parts, according to the animals habitat. For example, as we’ve seen in introduction of respiration, how do unicellular organisms respire, like wise fishes respire through gills. Earthworms, tapeworms respire through their skin while other organisms respire through lungs. So depending on the habitat of animals respiratory animals divided into 2 classes.
1.) Aquatic breathers : Aquatic breathers are those organisms which respire in water, having the aquatic habitat that mean they are living water. Example of aquatic breathers are fishes, which respire through gills present on their body. The water have less oxygen as compared to air. Most of the aquatic animals are ectotherm. The ectotherm can be defined as, temperature of body changes with surrounding. This is the disadvantage of aquatic breathers that if water temperature increases, oxygen will escape from the water and aquatic animals will don’t get oxygen for respiration.
2.) Terrestrial breathers : Terrestrial breathers are those organisms which takes oxygen from air, and habitat is land such organisms are called terrestrial breathers. Example includes lion, tiger, cat, dog. The terrestrial breathers also have one disadvantage that as they go on height the amount of oxygen decreases, and difficulty in breathing. So within terrestrial breathers altitude is the major problem. The respiratory system of terrestrial breathers is same as humans so lets discuss the respiratory system.
Question and answers :

3.) What is aquatic breathers ?
Answer :-Aquatic breathers are those organisms which respire in water, having the aquatic habitat that mean they are living water. Example of aquatic breathers are fishes, which respire through gills present on their body.
4.) What is terrestrial breathers ?
Answer :-Terrestrial breathers are those organisms which takes oxygen from air, and habitat is land such organisms are called terrestrial breathers. Example includes lion, tiger, cat, dog.
5.) What is disadvantage of aquatic breathers ?
Answer :-The water have less oxygen as compared to air. Most of the aquatic animals are ectotherm. The ectotherm can be defined as, temperature of body changes with surrounding. This is the disadvantage of aquatic breathers that if water temperature increases, oxygen will escape from the water and aquatic animals will don’t get oxygen for respiration.
6.) What is disadvantage of terrestrialbreathers ?
Answer :-The terrestrial breathers also have one disadvantage that as they go on height the amount of oxygen decreases, and difficulty in breathing. So within terrestrial breathers altitude is the major problem. The respiratory system of terrestrial breathers is same as humans so lets discuss the respiratory system.
