Chapter 48, Problem 8TY
The tracheal system of insects
- a. consists of several tracheae that connect to multiple lungs within the different segments of the body.
- b. consists of extensively branching tubes that are in close contact with all the cells of the body.
- c. allows oxygen to diffuse directly across the thin exoskeleton of the insect to the bloodstream.
- d. cannot function without constant movement of the wings to move air into and out of the body.
- e. provides oxygen that is carried through the animal’s body in hemolymph.

You are confronted with two worms that, on first glance, appear to be very similar. Upon closer
examination, however, you note one difference that allows you to identify one specimen as an
earthworm and the other as a roundworm. That key characteristic is:
A. The presence of a gastrovascular cavity
B. The presence of a body cavity
C. The presence of a muscle layer around the digestive tract
D. The absence of a specialized gas exchange surface
E. None of the characteristics listed above would allow an earthworm to be distinguished from a
roundworm
Which of the following will increase the rate of O2 uptake by a lobster?
A. Increasing the partial pressure of O₂ in the hemolymph (i.e. blood) of the lobster
B. Increasing the flow of water over the gill (i.e. increasing ventilation)
C. Increasing the thickness (i.e. the hemolymph-to-water distance) of the gill
D. Increasing the surface area of the scaphognathite
E. All of the above
