Earthworms breathe through their moist skin. Gas exchange takes place directly there.
The Earthworm's body has to stay moist & slimy because it allows oxygen to be diffused from air through the skin. This allows the worm breath because they do not have lungs.
They do not breathe as we do- they take in oxygen directly through their skin, and give off carbon dioxide the same way.
They use their skin [integument] to support the process of gaseous exchange known as transpiration.
Through their pores.
Diffusion allows an earthworm to get the oxygen it needs to survive. Remember, an earthworm needs oxygen just like we do, and its cells are constantly using oxygen to perform cell processes. This means the amount of oxygen inside the earthworm will always be less (lower concentration) than the area outside of the earthworm (higher concentration). This is great news for the earthworm! New oxygen from the environment is constantly diffusing into the cell to replace the oxygen that is used up.
hope this helps, :)

Potting mix does not kill earthworms.
Earthworms are examples of annelid worms (Phylum Annelida), which also contains leeches and many typres of marine worms. Earthworms are from the Class Oligochaeta, which contanins the earthworms, some freshwater worms and leeches.
Earthworms respire and take in oxygen directly from the skin. Perspiration, sweating, happens with holes called nephridia that let out the sweat from the body. In the fall, earthworms go below the frost-line to migrate. They also hibernate down in the soil around six feet deep.
air comes in through the soil so they have oxygen this is a good website for earthworm info http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761578402/Earthworm.html I believe they respire through their skin.
Yes, humans do respire. Respiration is one of the seven life processes, you have to respire to live, humans are living things so they do respire.
No. It is not alive so it doesn't need to respire.
not like humans but they do respiration but how do they respire then ?
your muscle dont respire, your heart and lungs need to respire more whilst taking part in a physical activity.

earthworms have a moist skin due to the presence of mucus. we know that, an earthworm respires through its skin. the mucus on it helps the earthworm to respire efficiently. * hope this answer suited you...
Yes, the can photosynthesize and respire at the same time.
Fish respire in water through gas exchange in their gills.
The duration of Comme elle respire is 1.75 hours.
