Answer

Solution:

Terrestrial organisms breathe by using atmospheric oxygen, whereas aquatic organisms take oxygen dissolved in water. The oxygen level is high in the atmosphere when compared to oxygen in the water. Hence, terrestrial organisms need not breathe fast to obtain organisms, whereas aquatic organisms need to breathe faster to get the required oxygen.
