How does cell respiration affect a hawksbill turtle?


Rate This Answer

Sea turtles have lungs and breathe air. Their ability to stay underwater for very long periods of time may make them seem to be more like fish with gills, but they are reptiles that must surface to breathe. There are several adaptations in sea turtle physiology that allow the organism to use oxygen more efficiently and withstand the side effects of infrequent surfacing.
