Explain how the digestive tract of different invertebrates affects the size of the organisms they eat.

My answer will be because these characteristics intervene in the capture and assimilation of the food, having 4 general food behaviors: (1) detritivores, consume a lot of material from the bottom of the water source, (2) herbivores, who consume mostly plant components (filamentous algae and higher plants); (3) periphyton consumers, who are characterized by feeding on microalgae and microinvertebrates and (4) omnivores, in which they indistinctly feed on plant material as an animal of different origin.

inn [45]

The question is incomplete, I included an attachment that completes the question as well as show the options to be chosen from.

Answer: YES, SUPPORTED

Explanation: When we talk of Osmoconformers, we are talking of the organisms that live in the marine habitat.

These Osmoconformers have the tendency of maintaining their internal fluid isotonic that is isotonic to their external environment in church they live. They have an osmotic pressure that is equal to the osmotic pressure of their surrounding environment.

In the table provided in the attachment section,it clearly stated as we can see the increase in osmolarity of water,the haemolymph osmolarity increase in order to maintain isotonic realtion so that,there will be no much exosmosis (osmosis).
