What are three (3) similarities between gills and lungs? (Will medal/fan)

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

@Trojan @dan815 @Luigi0210 Please help if you can!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think are three similarities?

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

I know one is that they are both respiratory organs

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

The first link doesn't work! o:

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

Actually... None of them are working. ._. @Trojan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmmm.

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

Yeah, they all said something like 404 error or server error.

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

@whpalmer4 @Data_LG2 @confluxepic Help pleae?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, this one works for me, hopefully it'll work for you. http://www2.estrellamountain.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/biobookrespsys.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This also works, not sure what was wrong earlier. http://www.mrothery.co.uk/exchange/exchange.htm

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

Okay, thanks. I'll check it out. I hope I can easily find two more similarities. :)

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

>-< This is hard. :c

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

Could you give me a hint please? :c

OpenStudy (barreraa):

One of the similarities of lungs and gills is that both are used for breathing in and out. Only that gills are found in fishes and young amphibians and lungs are found in birds, mammals, reptiles and adult amphibians. @ayeeeitskateee

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

I already have "they are both respiratory organs", which is the same thing but only in different words. Do you know any more @barreraA ? It'd be a big help! I only have this and 2 more questions to do and I'm stumped. lol

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

@whpalmer4 Can you help?

OpenStudy (barreraa):

ok i ll see what i can do @ayeeeitskateee

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

Okay, thanks so much.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

in both cases, oxygen is diffused across a membrane into the circulation, and carbon dioxide diffuses into the ambient liquid or bass

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

both gills and lungs have rather elaborate structure to increase the available surface area while still being relatively compact

OpenStudy (ayeeeitskateee):

Thank you!!!
