Arthropods do in fact have an aerobic metabolism requiring oxygen, though it differs from our own. The strategy to acquire it varies depending on environment; marine arthropods like crabs and lobsters have gills to extract it from water; crabs on land can still use gills if they remain moist. Insects, which constitute the bulk of the phylum, get it directly from the air through holes in their body segments (spiracles); the air gets conducted directly to the tissues via tubules and thus do not use a fluid circulatory system for that purpose. Those arthropods that do use their circulatory system for oxygenation exploit hemocyanin, a component in their body fluid (hemolymph) to which oxygen can bind, comparable to a mammal's hemoglobin. Unlike us, this oxygen carrying molecule is not bound to proteins in blood cells, but drifts around freely in the hemolymph.
The circulatory system for both those arthropods that oxygenate directly from air or oxygenate using hemolymph, is described as an "open" one, with the organs bathed in the fluid in a body cavity called a hemocoel.
What else can I help you with?
Blood receive oxygen in the?
Blood gets oxygen in the cells. This is part of the body system.
Why is pulmonary circulation reduced in the fetus heart?
Pulmonary circulation reduced in the human fetus because the baby gets its oxygen from its mother & it does not breath on its own.
What is precipitation and why does it fall?
Precipitation is rain that evaporates and the hydrogen and oxygen molecules bind to dust particles and rise into the sky and when it gets to a critical weight it falls to earth as rain.
How is blood supplied to the heart and why is this process important?
The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood through arteries which take the blood to muscles. Then when the oxygen is deprived of its oxygen it is pumped back to the heart where it is then sent to the lungs for more oxygen. It then repeats the process. This process is important because your muscles need oxygen to function.
How is the blood different in the arteries going out to body cells compared to the blood coming back to the heart from the body cells?
I'm no anonomy expert, but the blood carried from the heart to the body is oxygen rich while the blood coming from the body has had it's oxygen absorbed so it goes through the heart to the lungs, where it gets oxygen, back to the heart and out to the body again.
Which eukaryote organism gets its energy from photosynthesis?
Chloroplast is the ekaryote organism that photosynthesis gets its energy from.
What is the overall purpose of respiration?
It is the metabolic process by which an organism gets energy by reacting oxygen with glucose to provide water, carbon dioxide and ATP (energy).
What is organism that gets energy by eating another organism is known as?
a consumer
Explain how oxygen gets into body and how carbon dioxide gets out?
Oxygen is not the problem, the issue is body
How does the red eyed dart frog gets its oxygen?
it gets it oxygen from little holes on the body
What does host mean in a science term?
An organism who gets taken over by another organism.
What is result of differentiation?
The organism gets larger
What is the word for organism that does the killing in predation?
The organism that does the killing in predation is known as the predator. The organism that gets attacked is known as the prey.
How do protozoans obtain oxygen?
They absorb the oxygen from the cell which gets its oxygen from the blood
How does the earth maintain oxygen?
the earth maintains oxygen by trees and flowers and other plants that produce oxygen. it maintains it because the seeds from all the plants that produce oxygen get blown away by the wind and get replanted and then after that it grows then another seed gets blown away and another organism grows , its a big cycle that is happening as i type! its quite interesting!!!
Organism that gets its carbon from carbon dioxide?
Autotroph
What is an organism that gets its energy from photosynthesis?
Light
