Question

Read the passage. Then explain why the circulatory system of a grasshopper does not need to carry gases to and from the grasshopper's cells.
Passage
The diagram shows part of a grasshopper's respiratory system. Air passes into and out of openings in its sides. These openings are connected to tubes and air sacs that fill with air. The air tubes branch into tiny tubes that spread out and are found close to all cells. So, unlike other animals, the grasshopper does not exchange gases using its circulatory system.

Answer 1

Answer:

The circulatory system is an open one, with most of the body fluid, or hemolymph, occupying cavities of the body and its appendages. The one closed organ, called the dorsal vessel, extends from the hind end through the thorax to the head; it is a continuous tube with two regions, the heart or pumping organ, which is restricted to the abdomen, and the aorta, or conducting vessel, which extends forward through the thorax to the head. Hemolymph, pumped forward from the hind end and the sides of the body along the dorsal vessel, passes through a series of valved chambers, each containing a pair of lateral openings called ostia, to the aorta and is discharged in the front of the head. Accessory pumps carry the hemolymph through the wings and along the antennae and legs before it flows backward again to the abdomen.
