Answer: All the above options are correct about the characteristics of Lumbriculus variegatus.

Explanation:

Lumbriculus variegatus also called the black worm belongs to the phylum Annelida and is used by biologists to illustrate:

-blood vessel pulsations,

-swimming reflex,

-peristaltic crawling behavior,

-giant nerve fiber action potentials.

These studies where carried out on them due to the characteristics they possess. These includes:

-its blood circulates in a closed circulatory system

-Freshwater worm found throughout North America and Europe

-Prefers the shallow habitats found at the edges of ponds, lakes, or marshes

-Feeds on decaying vegetation and microorganisms.

White raven [17]
A forensic scientist must have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. Although a degree in natural science or forensic science is recommended, some crime scene investigators begin as police officers and lean on their work experience to move into the investigator position. They might hold an associate degree or certificate.

Living cells depend on a precise balance of water and solutes. which term describes the control of the gain or loss of water and
Brums [2.3K]
The term in question is referred to as osmoregulation.
Since water and its soluted metabolites are key to the survival and normal function of the cell, there are many membrane proteins that regulate the exchange of water, ions and other osmolites between the cell and its surroundings.

Neurons and muscle cells perform different functions. In the body, these cells have the sar
n200080 [17]

The central nervous system (CNS) and effector organs receive messages from receptors through the nerve cells, respectively.

<h3>What do neuron and muscle cells have in common?</h3>
  • Tissues are made up of both nerve and muscle cells. Both mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum are found in muscle and nerve cells. The body's operations are coordinated through the cooperation of muscle and nerve cells.
  • Neurons, a type of nerve cell, and muscle cells are significantly distinct from one another. While nerve cells transmit signals from receptor cells to either glandular cells or muscle cells, or both, in order to move the body, muscle cells (myocytes) contract to cause movement.
  • The synapse is the point at which a nerve cell can communicate with another cell or muscle cell. The space between the pre-and postsynaptic cell membranes is known as the synaptic cleft.

The function of muscle cells:

The same genetic material can be used to correctly fill in the first blank, and to contract can be used to correctly fill in the second blank.

The genetic material is present in all of the body's cells, including blood, muscle, neuron, and cardiac cells. Cell differentiation causes them to specialize into different types of cells.

Muscle cells' purpose is to contract, which aids in movement and mobility. Skeletal muscles aid in movement and smooth muscles support the operation of interior organs like the uterus, whose contractions aid in childbirth.

The central nervous system (CNS) and effector organs receive messages from receptors through the nerve cells, respectively.

<span>The experiment performed by Francesco Redi supports the hypothesis that fly larvae only come from adult flies based on his experiment design using a covered-meat and non-covered meat. In addition, he also believed that maggots came from the fly rather than from the rotten meat by using the same experiment design. </span>
