Which one of the following is a major difference between the circulatory systems of earthworms and fish?
labwork [276]
<span>a. Fish have a single central heart; earthworms have several hearts.

</span>
Multi cellular organisms are made up of billions of cells each specialized to a unique role and these cells are organized into structural and functional units such as tissues and organs.
For each cell and organ to function optimally, it requires oxygen and nutrients and needs carbon dioxide and  metabolic waste taken away  in a  continuous, never ending  process.
<span>A mechanism  is needed to accomplish the important function of transporting the relevant materials to and from the cell. The circulatory system fits this  bill splendidly. It is a specialized organ system which allows blood  and lymph to flow through the entire body carrying nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and electrolytes as well as oxygen to each cell, at the same time carting away carbon dioxide and all sorts of metabolic waste over to excretory organs  to be expelled from the body.

Allisa [31]

Hello, Welcome to Brainly.com!




Answer: I don't know if you have any options, but some of her assignments would definitely be the creation of drugs. Since she is a medicinal chemist, it means that she has the necessary knowledge to make medicine, which can later be sold in a pharmacy.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

birds

Explanation:

<em>Archaeopteryx</em> is an iconic fossil bird that lived during the Late Jurassic, approximately 150 million years ago. <em>Archaeopteryx</em> is iconic because it is a transitional fossil between non-avian dinosaurs (reptiles) and birds. The osteology of <em>Archaeopteryx</em> indicates that it was similar to that of nonavian theropod dinosaurs, i.e.,  dinosaurs characterized by hollow bones and three-toed limbs. Unlike modern birds, <em>Archaeopteryx</em> had a full set of teeth, a long tail, three fingers with claws and hyperextensible second toes commonly known as 'killing claws'.
