    Which sea creature breathes through its skin?

    • Octopus

    • Jellyfish

    • Sea Turtle

    • Shark

    Correct Answer
    A. Jellyfish
    Explanation
    Jellyfish breathe through their skin. They have a thin layer of tissue called the epidermis, which allows oxygen to pass through and carbon dioxide to be released. This process is known as cutaneous respiration. Unlike other sea creatures, jellyfish do not have gills or lungs to extract oxygen from the water or air. Instead, they rely on their skin to absorb oxygen directly from the surrounding water, making them unique in their respiratory system.

    Which ocean on Earth has the lowest oxygen content?

    • Atlantic Ocean

    • Pacific Ocean

    • Indian Ocean

    • Arctic Ocean

    Correct Answer
    A. Indian Ocean
    Explanation
    The Indian Ocean has the lowest oxygen content among the four options. This is because it experiences high levels of oxygen depletion due to factors such as warm temperatures, low nutrient levels, and high levels of organic matter. These conditions promote the growth of oxygen-consuming bacteria and phytoplankton, leading to a decrease in oxygen levels. Additionally, the Indian Ocean is also affected by human activities such as pollution and overfishing, which further contribute to the low oxygen content.
