Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Respiration is the process in which there is a transfer of respiratory gasses in an organism and thereby release of energy for carrying out various life processes like locomotion, circulation excretion and many others. During this process there is an intake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide. This intake of oxygen helps in cellular digestion of food and thereby results in the release of energy.

- You are confronted with two worms that, on first glance, appear to be very similar. Upon closer examination, however, you note one difference that allows you to identify one specimen as an earthworm and the other as a roundworm. That key characteristic is: A. The presence of a gastrovascular cavity B. The presence of a body cavity C. The presence of a muscle layer around the digestive tract D. The absence of a specialized gas exchange surface E. None of the characteristics listed above would allow an earthworm to be distinguished from a roundwormarrow_forwardThe countercurrent exchange system for gills relies on diffusion to diffuse oxygen into the blood. This system works because the blood in the gills. a. increasing encounters [Select] b. decreasing water as the blood moves from [Select] a. arteries [Select] b. capillaries c. Veins ✰ concentrations of oxygen in the a.arteries b. capillaries to C. veins through the capillaries. This also ensures that a. less blood always has [Select] b. more c. the same amount of oxygen than the water for continued diffusion.arrow_forward1.
