If a mutation occurred in a flatworm such that the flame cells no longer functioned, what do you predict would be the consequence? Excretory functions would be impacted Reproductive function would be impaired. Osmoregulatory and excretory function would be impaired. Nerve function would be impaired. Digestive function would be impaired.

4) Animals that undergo ecdysis, or molting, include nematodes and arthropods. Why do these animals molt? Group of answer choices shedding the exoskeleton allows the animal to move faster to escape predators the exoskeleton prevents them from obtaining oxygen their outer covering is made of a non-living substance shedding the exoskeleton makes the animal smaller, which makes it easier for the animal to hide from predators in crevices

What is a characteristic of the circulatory systems of arthropods and mollusks that distinguishes them from the circulatory system of echinoderms? They have lungs. They have muscular pumps to circulate the extracellular fluid. They are closed circulatory systems. They have extracellular fluid to transport substances to and from internal organs. They have cilia to circulate the extracellular fluid.
Due to human activities more carbon dioxide (CO2) is dissolving into the air, the ocean takes up more CO2 and becomes increasingly acidic. Increased ocean acidity makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce their calcium-rich hard parts. Explain three types of invertebrates that are likely to be adversely affected by an increase in ocean acidity.
