Three chamber heart of frog is not as efficient as four chambered human heart because :-

1. Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix up
2. Ventricle does not pump blood properly
3. It does not hold enough blood
4. Heart muscles are not strong

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: Fishes possess a two-chambered heart with an atrium and a ventricle, where deoxygenated blood is pumped to the gills for oxygenation.
Statement II: Birds and mammals possess a four-chambered heart, which ensures complete separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Options:
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
3. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.

The main advantage of a closed circulatory system, as seen in annelids and chordates, is:
1. Blood is circulated more quickly, more precisely and at higher pressure to the organs.
2. Blood directly bathes the tissues, facilitating faster diffusion of gases.
3. Nutrients and waste are exchanged more efficiently in open spaces.
4. The heart does not require chambers for efficient circulation.

Why do higher animals like mammals and birds possess a closed circulatory system instead of an open one?
1. Because it allows blood to come in direct contact with tissues for faster absorption of oxygen
2. Because closed circulation prevents blood from reaching vital organs
3. Because open circulation is too complex for warm-blooded animals
4. Because a closed system permits more efficient nutrient and gas exchange through capillaries under controlled pressure
