Answer: Annelida
Leeches are soft bodied segmented parasitic worms. They belong to the phylum Annelida. They are hermaphrodites which means they exhibit sex organs of both male and female.
The characteristics which are found in leeches which group them into Annelida are:
1. The body of the leeches are bilaterally symmetrical like other Annelids. The body organs are also segmented.
2. They have a closed circulatory system in which the heart pumps the blood to all the parts of the body.
3. Leeches either exhibit a protusible pharynx or proboscis which allows them to suck the blood of the host such features are also common in other Annelids.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
D is an example of confirmation bias because confirmation bias involves people looking for information to support their opinions and beliefs, the person confirms their already existing biases and beliefs when they seek out information to support these biases and beliefs whilst ignoring contradicting information.

The correct answer is option C, that is, the presence of the nuclear membrane.
Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria that attain their energy via the process of photosynthesis, and are the only photosynthetic prokaryotes possessing the tendency to generate oxygen. As a prokaryote, they are devoid of the nuclear membrane.
Euglena refers to a single cell flagellate eukaryote. It comes under the class Euglenoidea. The species of Euglena are witnessed in salt water and in freshwater. Being a eukaryote, they possess nuclear membrane.
Answer:
The correct statements are:
- Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.
- The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.
The amount of oxygen in air and atmospheric pressure decreases with increase in altitude.
So, when Jon hikes up the hill he faces two problems; lack of oxygen in the air and decrease in atmospheric pressure.
Decreased atmospheric pressure makes it difficult for the lungs to breathe in the air and lack of oxygen decrease the blood oxygen level.
In addition, physical activity like hiking increases the oxygen demand of the body.
Due to these factors the respiratory system struggles to meet the oxygen demand of the body. The brain detect the same and triggers the respiratory and circulatory system to work more in order to meet the oxygen demand.
It causes the shortness of breath or heavy breathing, high blood pressure, tiredness, dizziness etc.
Explanation:
Pollen grains are the male gametes in plants. It is present on the anthers. Pollen grains finds its way to the ovule by the process of pollination. The structure of pollen grains vary from one species of flower to another. The hibiscus and spider lily both have circular pollen grain.
However, the atomic structure of pollen grain of hibiscus represents the Buckminster fullerene but is not shown in spider lily. The pollen grains of hibiscus have spikes on its surface.
