Compare the metabolic potential (ability to burn organic molecules rapidly) of an oyster with an open circulatory system, a fly with an open circulatory system + a tracheal system, and a racer (a type of snake) with a closed circulatory system. In the fly, which needs are met by the circulatory system, and which are met by the tracheal system?
