<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The simple answer for that will be that they are not complex organisms. Earthworms are simple organism with the small body,

So as there body is not that big thus they don't need any specialized organ system for the process of respiration. Every organism has the complex systems according to fulfill their needs, and most certainly the skin is very convenient medium for the respiration by the diffusion process.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>BLOOD CIRCULATORY SYSTEM:</h3>

They have a specialized system where it was needed, THE BLOOD CIRCULATION SYSTEM, There body is small but long and need blood to transfer the oxygen to each part of the body. There blood have the haemoglobin(it carries the oxygen), thus it is red just like us.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h3>SKIN:</h3>

Skin as a respiratory medium, needs to be thin, wet and cover large surface area than volume. The Skin fulfills all these Prerequisites, thus it is a perfect organ for the respiration. Even our respiratory medium which is alveoli is wet, thin and cover REALLY large surface area more than our body. If the skin dries, there will be no diffusion and worm will die due to dessication.

Which of the following items is NOT composed of matter?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

c. sound

Explanation:

Matter is formally defined as being any substance that has any amount of mass and takes up space by having volume. Dirt, Humans, and Water all have a different level of mass and take up a different level of space. Sound on the other hand does not have neither mass or volume, it is instead a wavelength or a constant vibration that travels invisibly through the air. Therefore it is not composed of matter.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

What are the layers of skin?
nalin [4]

The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.

The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.

The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.
