The given question is incorrect. The correct question is:
Question: The thoracic cavity contains the ________. it is found ________ to the vertebral cavity.
a) digestive viscera: inferior
b) kidneys and spleen: deep
c) stomach and liver: superficial
d) heart and lungs: anterior
Answer:
d) heart and lungs: anterior
Explanation:
The thoracic cavity is one of the major body cavities. The thoracic cavity is also called the chest cavity. It is formed by the ribs, the chest muscles, the sternum (breastbone), and the thoracic portion of the vertebral column. It is present in the anterior to the cavity formed by the spine to house the spinal cord. The pericardial cavity is the fluid-filled space of the thoracic cavity present around the heart. The thoracic cavity also has two pleural cavities to house the lungs.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option - D.
Explanation:
Slime moulds are the fungus-like protists which bear a structure called sporangium which produces spores. The sporangium is produced in fungi as well due to which these protists are called fungus-like. Although both produce sporangium but they are not closely related, rather they are distantly related organisms.
The appearance of a sporangium in both indicates that they had faced the same conditions due to which they both showed the same adaptation by producing the same structures performing the same function. In evolutionary terms, this is an example of convergent evolution.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
The marine clamworm, Nereis, is carnivorous therefore its digestive system differs from that of the herbivorous earthworm, Lumbricus. The mouth and jaws are retractable (Figure 8, 9). If the jaws are retracted, cut along the midline of the pharynx and pull the jaws out with a pair of forceps.

Answer:
Digestion is the process of converting complex food any individual eats, into the smaller components and nutrition that is absorbed and assimilated into the body to produce energy and nutrition for the cell and body. The digestion process takes place in the digestive system that includes the gastrointestinal tract and organs like the liver and pancreas.
It includes ingestion of food through the mouth or buccal cavity, propulsion of food, physical digestion by making it small pulp with help of peristalsis, chemical digestion by the enzymes and acid, absorption through the intestine into the blood, and defecation of waste.
Water molecules stick to the cell walls of plant's thin veins which helps prevent the water from falling backwards due to gravity.
