Introduction:
Circulatory system helps in the distribution of nutrients and oxygen from the external environment into the body. In return, it expels waste products and carbon dioxide from the body. The circulatory system varies from simple animals to complex animals.
Answer to Problem 1TYK
Correct answer:
Have blood and intestinal fluid mixing directly in body spaces.
Explanation of Solution
Justification/explanation for the correct answer:
Option (d) is, have blood and intestinal fluid mixing directly in body spaces. The invertebrate animals have open circulatory system, where the contraction of the heart results in the pumping of blood like fluid called hemolymph through the arteries. hemolymph is released directly into the body spaces called sinuses. In sinuses, hemolymph and intestinal fluid get mixed up and there is no clear difference between them. Hence, option (d) is correct.
The explanation for the incorrect answers:
Option (a) is, lead to more mobile lives. Vertebrates show more complex locomotive organs. They have bipedal as well as tetra pedal digits for movement. Invertebrates show less mobility than vertebrates. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (b) is, require a higher level of oxygen. The vertebrates due to its highly evolved physiological and anatomical structure require a higher level of oxygen than lesser evolved invertebrates. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (c) is, have a more complex layer of cells. Vertebrates have three germ layer of cells whereas some invertebrates show only two germ layer of cells. Hence, the vertebrates have a more complex layer of cells. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (e) is, require faster delivery and greater quantities of nutrients. The circulatory system in invertebrates is not complex. They require less quantity of nutrients and its delivery to tissues. Whereas, the vertebrates have a complex double circulatory system. So, it is an incorrect option.
Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are incorrect.
It can be concluded that the open circulatory system in invertebrate animals shows the mixing up of blood and intestinal fluid into the body spaces called sinuses.

- Unlike bony fish in the sea, cartilaginous fish are hypertonic in their osmotic pressure. Thus: O a. They have high levels of sodium chloride in their cells compared with a bony fish. O b. They produce very little urine. Oc. They have high levels of urea in their blood. O d. Osmoregulation requires a greater expenditure in energy compared with a bony fish. O e. They need much larger salt glands than in a bony fish.arrow_forwardImagine if mermaids are real. What are their biological and Physical demands (LOCOMOTION, BREATHING, and THERMOREGULATION)?arrow_forwardDue to human activities more carbon dioxide (CO2) is dissolving into the air, the ocean takes up more CO2 and becomes increasingly acidic. Increased ocean acidity makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce their calcium-rich hard parts. Explain three types of invertebrates that are likely to be adversely affected by an increase in ocean acidity.arrow_forward
- How does a change in the circulatory system organization support the body designs in cephalopods compared to other mollusks?arrow_forwardWhen comparing the circulatory systems of vertebrates, indicate whether the following statements are true or false. There is no mixing of oxygenated (high [O2]) and deoxygenated (low [O2]) blood in the ventricle of a fish. #apply Question 9 options: True False The circulatory system of amphibians is more efficient than that of fish because there are two circulatory loops. #analyze Question 10 options: True False The only vertebrates without a hepatic portal venous system connecting the gut to the liver are the fish. #analyze Question 11 options: True False There is no mixing of oxygenated (high [O2]) and deoxygenated (low [O2]) blood in the ventricle of a frog. #apply Question 12 options: True Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the basic life processes—metabolism, responsiveness, movement, growth, differentiation, and reproduction, is referred to by the following descriptions? 1. For animals with three germ layers, the mesoderm forms skeletal muscle, bone, connective tissue, the heart, and the urogenital system. 2. Putting strain on the muscles through working out results in an increase in muscle fibers.Having more muscle fibers will lead to greater strength and muscle size.arrow_forward
- How might an increase in the body size of the larval body reduce the toxic effects of elevated atmospheric oxygen on the insect? Mark all that apply A. Number of molecules remaining inside cell or animal body B. Diffusion distance C. Permeability D. Surface area to volume of the cell membrane or animal body E. Concentration of diffusing molecule on outside of cell or animal body F. Thickness of cell membrane or animal bodyarrow_forward4) Animals that undergo ecdysis, or molting, include nematodes and arthropods. Why do these animals molt? Group of answer choices shedding the exoskeleton allows the animal to move faster to escape predators the exoskeleton prevents them from obtaining oxygen their outer covering is made of a non-living substance shedding the exoskeleton makes the animal smaller, which makes it easier for the animal to hide from predators in crevicesarrow_forwardEarthworms move through coordinated and peristaltic contractions of their body wall muscles.
