question 85

Multiple Choice

Single cellular organisms can rely on diffusion to move gases,nutrients,and wastes across their single membrane.What feature of the cardiovascular system overcomes this problem for multicellular organisms?

• A) The cardiovascular system contains many arteries that allow for the even distribution and diffusion of gases, nutrients, and wastes.
• B) Diffusion does not occur in multicellular organisms, so the distance to the environment created by being multicellular does not matter.
• C) The heart pumps gas and nutrients directly to cells through arteries and allows for the removal of wastes through venous return.
• D) It has high-pressure veins that can force gases, nutrients, and wastes into any area that it is needed.
• E) The capillary blood vessels are found throughout the body to allow for even distribution and diffusion of gases, nutrients, and wastes.
