“<b>Do arthropods have a coleom?</b>”
Yes
“<b>Describe the relation of an open circulatory system and hameocel and the differences in arthropoda vs mollusca</b>”
Open circulatory system means blood or haemolpmyh not enclosed in vessels, so flows through cavity called hameocel.<br></br><br></br>In hexapoda and myriapoda, heamolmpyh has no pigments and is not oxygenated, it carries nutrients instead<br></br><br></br>in myridapoda, the haemocel acts as a reduced body cavity<br></br><br></br>All molluscs have open except for cephalopods, but their blood is oxygenated carried into haemocel
