Role of the water vascular system in Echinoderms is:
A. Respiration and Locomotion
B. Excretion and Locomotion
C. Capture and transport of food
D. Digestion and Respiration
E. Digestion and Excretion
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- Option A:
A and B only
- Option B:Correct
A and C only
- Option C:
B and C only
- Option D:
B, D and E only
Answer: B
Step-by-step solution
The water vascular system of echinoderms helps in locomotion, capture and transport of food, and respiration. Statement A (Respiration and Locomotion) is correct, and statement C (Capture and transport of food) is correct. Statement B involves excretion, statement D involves digestion, and statement E involves both digestion and excretion; these are not primary functions of the water vascular system. Therefore, only statements A and C are correct, which corresponds to option B.
