Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Can a fish drown?

Answer: Yes

YES! Fish, like people, need oxygen to live. There is oxygen both in the air and the water. People breathe in the oxygen through their lungs. When someone drowns, it's because they have used up their supply of oxygen and cannot get any from the water. Fish breathe through gills rather than lungs. Gills can extract oxygen from the water, but not from the air.

When a fish is pulled out of the water, it soon exhausts its supply of oxygen, and 'drowns' because its gills can no longer function.

2. A strand of spider web may be stronger than an equal diameter of steel.

Answer: True

3. Of the million-plus species of insects on earth, 3,000 of them are this type of insect?
