Biology

Answer:

The correct answer is the second statement that it will swell.

Explanation:

The majority of the sugary candies get dissolve when kept in water. However, the gummy bears get larger instead of getting dissolved in the water due to the presence of gelatin in it. When the gummy bears are kept in water, the molecules of water, that is, the solvent get within the bear by the process of osmosis.  

The molecules of water cross the semipermeable membrane and move into the region of higher solute region in order to equalize the concentration of solvent on both the sides of the candy surface.  

In the beginning, less water and more gelatin are present within the gummy bear. However, to make things equal, the molecules of water are moved within the candy where there are lesser water molecules and larger molecules of gelatin present. This gelatin presence makes the gummy bear function like a sponge by absorbing water rather than getting dissolved in it.

When we say an animal has an "open circulatory system," this means that: movement of the animal is solely responsible for moving
adoni [48]
An open circulatory system simply means that the blood flows out of vessels and into the spaces or sinuses. Invertebrates, insects and crustaceans has an open circulatory system where pump blood goes into a hemocoel and diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells. In other animals, the heart pumps the blood into the body cavities, spaces or sinuses, where the blood surrounds the tissues.

Goshia [24]

Since, it has a nervous system, blood vessels, and a long digestive tube is most likely a segmented worm.

<h3>What is a segmented worm?</h3>

Segmented worms have long tube-like bodies that are divided into segments.

They are the simplest organism with a true nervous system and blood contained in vessels.

They have a long digestive tube that runs down the length of the worm's inner body.

They can take in dissolved oxygen from the water through their skin.

Thus, a segmented worm has a nervous system, blood vessels, and a long digestive tube.
