The blood of cockroach contains no respiratory pigment. It means that
cockroach does not respire.
respiration is anaerobic.
oxygen goes directly into tissues by diffusion.
oxygen goes directly into tissues by intracellular capillary system.
Correct Answer :
D. oxygen goes directly into tissues by intracellular capillary system.
Without respiration, no animal can survive. Cockroach is not as simple as Hydra where oxygen can diffuse directly into the cells. There is a system of tubes in cockroach, the tracheal system, with the help of which oxygen goes directly into the tissues by intracellular capillary system.
