Why do unicellular organisms live mainly in watery environments?

1 answer:

4 0

Unicellular organisms are devoid of circulatory systems and will be found living in moist or watery environments to facilitate uptake of nutrients and gases and expulsion of waste by the process of diffusion. Their cell is structured such that it can engage in direct exchange of substances with its environment. Water serves as the perfect medium or environment through which this exchange can occur. Gases and nutrients simply diffuse into the cell or are moved into the cell by means of active transport or phagocytosis.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The papillary muscles of both right and left ventricles began to contract shortly before the other ventricular muscles (systole) so that they can take up the slack on the chordae tendineae as the full force of ventricular contractions sends blood against the atrioventricular (AV) valve flaps.

They prevent the backward flow of blood to atria from ventricles. So if they contract after the ventricle systole they would not be able to perform their job.
