The function of coelom is__________?
Correct answer: C. To provide space for the development of organs and systems
- A. To increase the size of the animals
- B. To help in the functioning of reproductive system
- C. To provide space for the development of organs and systems
- D. None of these
Explanation
The coelom provides a fluid-filled space in which internal organs and organ systems can develop, move, and function without being tightly compressed against the body wall. It can also support circulation and organ suspension, but merely increasing body size is not its defining function. Students may choose b because reproductive organs can occupy the coelom, but the function is broader than reproduction.
