Both clams and earthworms respire through diffusion, allowing oxygen to pass directly into their bodies and carbon dioxide to exit. Clams use gills to extract oxygen from water, while earthworms rely on their moist skin for gas exchange. In both cases, a moist surface is essential for effective respiration. Additionally, both organisms have adaptations that maximize their surface area for gas exchange.

How does respiration work in the earthworm?
Respiration in the earthworm is fairly simple. The earthworm has moist skin and it respires through the skin surface by taking in oxygen and giving out carbon di-oxide.
What is the function of the buccal cavity in the earthworm?

Why is cutaneous respiration impossible?

The digestive organ in which an earthworm stores food is?
Temporary storage occurs in the crop of an earthworm
Which animal done respiration through skin?
Amphibians
Which animal has the same phylum as a earthworm?
A leech is also an annelidia, such as the earthworm.
Can we call earthworm respiration as cutaneous respiration?
Yes, earthworm respiration is referred to as cutaneous respiration because they exchange gases directly through their skin. Their skin must remain moist to facilitate the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide, as they lack specialized respiratory organs like lungs or gills. This process allows them to absorb oxygen from the environment and release carbon dioxide efficiently.
What is the function of an earthworm's brain?
the same as yours
Describe all the ways the earthworms are like humans?
Earthworm are like human cause they have a complete losed circulatory system. The earthworm has red blood that contains respiratory pigment similar to hemocfokin. External respiration in human must be moist and an earthworm keep its body surface.
What is the same about earthworms and snakes?
compare the snake and earthworm
