Compare respiratory systems of the earthworm, frog, and squid. Explain how the specimen breathes and which organs are involved.

Earthworm: Gas exchange through skin -- tubular shape gives it a large surface area, moist skin promotes gas exchange. Frog: Diffusion (if enough oxygen is present), external gills can be used to increase surface area where there is less oxygen. Snake: Evolution of the trachea, epiglottis, and nostrils -- breathe almost entirely through lungs (some through skin). Breathing takes place by lungs changing size. Squid: The water and oxygen enter the squid's body through the mantle. The respiratory exchange between the carbon dioxide and the oxygen occurs in the gills. The oxygen is then carried through the tissues by the blood and the carbon dioxide and the water are expelled from the body through the siphon.

An increase in the greenhouse effect causes an increase in___

andriy [413]

The answer is option B "temperature." Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping the suns heat in the lower atmosphere. A increase of greenhouse effect would cause surface temperatures to rise. Which then contributes to global warming because of melting the ice bergs in cooler areas on Earth and causing waters to rise and creating storms. It's not option A because the sun gives off heat or harmful radiant waves which doesn't increase carbon dioxide levels. Wouldn't be option D because it would contribute but it wouldn't happen without a increase of temperature. It also wouldn't be option C because oxygen isn't relevant in this case.

Hope this helps.
