What happens to urchins if the oxygen percent concentration drops too low for an extended period of time?

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Since sea urchins are picky, they are used as indicator organisms in public aquariums to determine if the system is functioning properly. This is because they are very "picky" about water quality. If the water is contaminated, the sea urchins will be the first to show signs of stress, spines laying down or falling off. Do use an aquarium filter and do clean up the day after feeding. Any metal exposed to the seawater will corrode and poison the tank. A dying sea urchin will often spawn out and rot out, causing the others in the tank to spawn and die as welll.

Oxygenated blood flows from the __________ to the __________ before being pumped into the systemic circulation.

jeka94

Answer: from the pulmonary veins into the left atrium.

Explanation:

After oxygenation of blood in the lungs, the right and left pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood and empties it into the left atrium. The left atrium then empties the blood into the left ventricle through the left atrioventricular valve.

With contraction, the ventricle pumps the blood to the systemic circulation through the aorta. The blood flow into the aorta is guarded by the aortic valve.
