Bio 2.3 Ecological niche Three species that I studied 1.)Dolphin 2.)Great White Shark 3.)Emperor Penguin Animals need gas exchange for one main reason and that is to survive , all organisms need this gas exchange process to burn glucose for fuel which is a simple but important energy source that is a component of many carbohydrates. The respiratory system is where there is a series of organs taking in oxygen and getting rid of carbon…
