Q. In coelomates, the problem of diffusion of food from gut to tissues is solved by

A) The presence of coelomic fluid.
B) Churning the food within the body cavity.
C) Developing a circulatory system.
D) Developing gut associated glands.
Explanation

In coelomates, the problem of diffusion of food from gut to tissues is solved by developing a circulatory system. After digestion and absorption, most of the absorbed food materials are passed into paracellular spaces (in between the enterocytes) from where they enter blood capillaries and then transported to tissues.
