Oxygen is typically carried by the red blood cells of most animals. However, the Sea Star has no "blood" and instead uses sea water to transport its nutrients. Salt water transports the oxygen around a sea star's body.

What type of circulation respiration does a sea star have?

No starfish, more accurately seastars, do not breathe through gills. Instead: Oxygen enters mainly by diffusion into the tube feet (and thus into the water vascular system) or the papulae, which are little sacs all over the upper surface of the body.


What is the surface temperature of beta piscium?

The surface temperature of Beta Piscium, also known as beta Piscium, is estimated to be around 5,800 Kelvin. This star is a yellow-white dwarf located in the constellation Pisces and is similar in temperature to our Sun, making it a main sequence star.


A hydrogen shell is most likely to form around?

A hydrogen shell is most likely to form around a more massive star in the later stages of its life, as it transitions to a red giant or supergiant phase. This occurs when the star exhausts the hydrogen fuel in its core and starts fusing hydrogen in a shell surrounding the core, causing the outer layers of the star to expand and cool.


What is the difference between asymmetrical and radial symmetry?

Symmetrical balance is when everything is perfectly and evenly balanced out. Asymmetrical balance refers to a design that has dissimilar elements but still appears balanced, dividing a picture in half won't have the exact same elements however the elements they do have are varied and seem to balance one another out.


What is a stellate tear of the body of the lateral meniscus?

A stellate tear of the body of the lateral meniscus refers to a type of meniscal tear where the tear pattern resembles a star shape. This tear pattern typically involves multiple radial tears that extend from the center of the meniscus towards the periphery. Stellate tears can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the knee joint.

Is aldebaran a giant star?

Yes, it is an orange giant star. It is an old star which has ran out of hydrogen fuel and has moved off the main sequence, having expanded to around 44 times the diameter of our own sun.

What do you call the shape of the path that follows around the star?

The shape of the path that follows around a star is called an orbit. In the case of planets orbiting a star, these orbits are typically elliptical, as described by Kepler's laws of planetary motion. The gravitational pull of the star keeps the orbiting body in its path, maintaining a balance between gravitational attraction and the body's inertia.


What is the pathway of a celestial body around a star?

That is called an "orbit". Such orbits basically have the shape of an ellipse.


What is a large body of rock or gas that orbits a star?

A large body of rock or gas that orbits a star is called a planet. Planets are celestial objects that revolve around a star like our Sun due to the force of gravity. These celestial bodies can vary in size and composition.


Why does corn star burn when it is blown out of a tube but doesn't burn when in a pile?

Because when it is in a pile oxygen can't get though it. But when it is being blown out of a tube oxygen gets through it and around it so it burns.


Is an asteroid considered a star?

No. A star is the same as our sun. An asteroid is a large peice of rock flying through space; it can be a small body, or a large body as big as several kilometers across. Asteroids are frequently found to be in orbit around a larger body such as a moon or planet.


Is a star born when helium and oxygen combine?

No. A star is born when hydrogen stars fusing.


A relatively large body that orbits a star?

How a starfish get oxygen?

A sea star (starfish) gets its oxygen through diffusion into the tube feet.
