The correct response for the disadvantage of a sac-like digestive system with only one opening is:

**It is not as efficient as a tubular digestive system with two openings.**

In a tubular digestive system, the presence of two openings (one for ingestion and one for excretion) allows for continuous processing of food, enabling more efficient digestion and absorption compared to a sac-like system which can only handle one process at a time.
