Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Keeping oxygenated and deoxygenated blood separate results in
A
The delivery of nutrients and oxygen more efficient
B
The fast movement of carbon dioxide
C
Weakness of the blood circulation
D
Organism will adds more wastes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Double circulation prevents the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood with each other. The separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood allows a more efficient supply of oxygen to the body cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood allows a highly efficient supply of oxygen to the body. This is useful in animals that have high energy needs, such as birds and mammals, which constantly use energy to maintain their body temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mixing of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood will increase their body temperature as the level of carbon dioxide will rise in blood. Mammals and birds have high energy requirements. Mixing of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood will decrease their stamina.

Detailed explanation-4: -The inter-atrial septum and inter-ventricular septum prevent mixing of deoxygenated blood in the right side of the heart with oxygenated blood in the left side of the heart.

Detailed explanation-5: -Role. Oxygenated Blood: The main function of oxygenated blood is to supply oxygen to the metabolizing tissues. Deoxygenated Blood: The main function of deoxygenated blood is to carry carbon dioxide to the lungs.
