Oxygen: A chemical element. It is very simple and cannot be broken down into more basic pieces. It is essential for life and gives us the energy we need to do everything we do.
Dissolved Oxygen: Oxygen that comes from the air and mixes into the water. This can happen at the water’s surface, where air mixes with water, and through plants in the water absorbing oxygen. This is the oxygen available to underwater creatures.
Gills: An organ in fish used to soak up oxygen from the water. Gills are full of blood vessels. When a fish scoops in water through its mouth, the water runs over the gills, and the blood vessels in the gills soak up oxygen from the water and carry it to the rest of the fish’s body.
Countercurrent Exchange System: A system God engineered into fish by which the blood in a fish’s gills flows in the opposite direction from the water flowing over the gills, allowing the fish’s blood to take in enough oxygen from the water.
