<p><strong>2) What Happens to the Oxygen Once It Reaches the Gills of Fish?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The gills of fish are provided with a dense network of blood vessels like lungs.</li>
<li>After the oxygen reaches the gills, the exchange of gases takes place.</li>
<li>The oxygen diffuses into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses out.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>3) Why Is Oxygen Necessary for Our Body?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Oxygen is required for the production of energy from the digested food.</li>
<li>Hence, it plays a vital role in the proper functioning, growth, and development of the body.</li>
