How did the earthworm's mode of location compare to the nematode's mode of location?

Geography

lesya [120]2 years ago

Answer: The earthworm contracts and extends in its movement, but the nematode moves side by side.

Explanation:

NOTE: By mode of location, we mean the way it moves.

The skin of a nematode is very unusual in that it secretes a thick outer cuticle which is both hard and flexible. And this cuticle makes it sustain a side by side mode of location. The closest thing a roundworm has to a skeleton is its cuticle and it uses it as a support and balance point for movement. Long muscles lie just underneath the epidermis and are all aligned longitudinally along the inside of the body, so the nematode can only bend its body from side to side, not contract or extend itself.

Whereas the earthworm extends and contracts as its mode of location.

An earthworm moves by using its two different sets of muscles: circular muscles for looping around each segment, and the longitudinal muscles for running along the length of the body.

The contraction of the circular muscles make the earthworm stretch becoming longer and thinner. The earthworm uses its longitudinal muscles to contract and thus becomes shorter and wider or it bends from one side to the other, pulling the body forward in the process. The earthworm withdraws the front setae and uses its rear setae to anchor itself at the back. Then the earthworm uses its circular muscles to lengthen and push itself forward again.

What do you think might happen if all the energy that was not absorbed were to leave the atmosphere and go back out into space?
Vlad [161]

Answer:

<u>Temperatures extremes.</u>

Explanation:

  • If the energy that came in the form of incoming solar radiation on the earth did not reach the ground or faded away before reaching the earth's surface the earth would have become a cold planet like pluto far and secluded.
  • Sun plays a major and big role in the formation of the earth what it is today. Sun's rays besides giving light to the solar system also a contributor to the heat energy that reaches the greater depth of the oceans and warms the landmasses from above also it acts to balance the earth's entire circulatory tilt in a flow.
  • If the planet was left without the sun then life would not have existed on the planet as the root driving factor would have been lost, in other terms such type of hypothesis would have not been possible due to gravitational pull and other factors like density.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Paleozoic

Explanation:

The Paleozoic Era is a geologic era that lasted from 541 to 251.902 million years ago. This is divided into six geologic periods: the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian. The swamps that were turned into coal over time grew during the Carboniferous period, which expands from 358.9 million years ago to 298.9 million years ago. The period is well-known because many coal beds were formed during that time period. During the Carboniferous, terrestrial animals were well-established. It ended with a minor extinction event known as the Carboniferous rainforest collapse.
