Identify the incorrect statement regarding respiratory organs:
1. Lower invertebrates like sponges, coelenterates, flatworms, etc., exchange O2 with CO2 by
simple diffusion over their entire body surface.
2. Earthworms use their moist cuticle as respiratory surface.
3. Insects have a network of tubes (tracheal tubes) to transport atmospheric air within the body.
4. All vertebrates use lungs as respiratory organs.
