How Do Ants Breathe Without Lungs?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Ants do not have lungs for respiration like mammals do.
  • They breathe through structures called spiracles, which are tiny openings in their exoskeleton.
  • Depending on the species, ants have nine or ten of these spiracles.
  • Oxygen enters directly through these openings and diffuses into their tissues.
