Biology
1 answer:
Molodets [167]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There are many ways.

Explanation:

Humans have a combined respiratory and circulatory system, whereas insects do not. In humans, the air is brought in through the mouth/nose, through the windpipe, and into the lungs, the oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream where it can be transported to muscles and organs. However, insects take in air through tiny holes in their thorax and abdomen. These are called spiracles. The oxygen is stored in many dorsal air sacs to be used. Then carbon dioxide is expelled through the spiracles.

Please help me!!! 26 POINTS !!!!<br> what would happen to an ecosystem without nitrifying bacteria?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Microbes. Bacteria, for example, convert nitrogen and carbon dioxide from the air into usable components that plants and animals can use as essential building blocks. A loss of all microbes would be terrible news for living organisms that can't create or take in these essential nutrients on their own.
