Additionally, fish rely on their eyes to communicate with other members of their species through visual signals and displays. Overall, vision plays a vital role in the daily activities and survival of fish.

16. Fish use gills to:

Explanation

Fish use gills to extract oxygen from water and release carbon dioxide. Gills are specialized respiratory organs that allow fish to breathe underwater.

As water passes over the gills, oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is expelled. This adaptation enables fish to live and survive in their aquatic environment.
