the respiratory pigment in humans is hemoglobin
Birds prey on earthworms as a food source, using their beaks to locate and extract them from the ground. This interaction plays a crucial role in the ecosystem as it helps regulate earthworm populations and provides birds with essential nutrients.
The prostomium is the fleshy lobe located at the anterior end of an earthworm. It covers the mouth and is involved in sensory perception and helping the earthworm navigate its environment.
In an adult worm, there may be more than 100 segments.
The sperm duct in an earthworm is responsible for transporting sperm from the seminal vesicles to the genital pores of another earthworm during copulation. This allows for the transfer of sperm from one worm to another for reproduction to occur.
The setae on an earthworm point backwards, helping it grip and move through the soil more easily.
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.
The metal component of a respiratory pigment is the part that actually binds to the oxygen molecule.
You DO find a respiratory structure in each segment of the earthworm. An earthworm uses its skin as the respiratory structure. Oxygen in the air dissolves in the moisture and mucus on the skin then diffuses into blood capillaries close to the skin to be transported to the rest of the body.
through skin

This is because the earthworm takes in oxygen through its skin and releases CO2 through it's skin as well using diffusion
Haemoglobin is the respiratory pigmaent of blood in mammals
Actually, earthworms have no respiratory system at all, they get the oxygen and nitrogen that they need from the soil.
The earthworm has no special respiratory organs. Gaseous exchange occurs through moist skin by diifusion.
Reg blood cells contains the respiratoy pigment haemoglobin.
The respiratory pigment is a molecule that increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. In man this is the hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is bright red when its been oxygenated, and a red-purple when it is deoxygenated.
