• C) Insects rely on their tracheal system to deliver oxygen in air to their tissues, whereas terrestrial vertebrates rely on their lungs to deliver oxygen to their tissues through the blood in their circulatory system.
• D) Insects use their tracheal system to transfer oxygen from air into blood, whereas terrestrial vertebrates use their lungs to transfer oxygen from air into blood.
