Question
Chapter 26.6, Problem 3TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Annelids are a large phylum with about 15000 described species. Its member includes free-ranging marine worms, tube worms, the familiar earthworm, and leeches. They vary in size from less than 1mm to enormous Australian earthworms that can reach a size of 3m.

What is the advantage to the segmentation that is exemplified in the Phylum Annelida? Check all that apply.
A)The annelid may still survive if one segment is damaged.
B)Segments can be specialized.
C)The importance of segmentation is unclear.
D)Vital structures are repeated in each segment.
E)Locomotion is more efficient.
The Cnidarian life-cycle varies from species to
species. The species obelia is characterized by
exclusively dominant medusa stage
exclusively dominant polyp stage
alternation between an asexual polyp form and
sexual medusa form
alternation between an asexual medusa form
and sexual polyp form
The largest cycloneuralians are also the only ones with external fertilization. Which phylum is this? Explain the relationship between adult body size, mode of fertilization, and type of larval development in marine invertebrates.

- How are the oral and anal cavities differentiated in the intact, adult earthworm? The anal cavity develops before the oral cavity. The anal cavity is at a farther distance from the clitellum than is the oral cavity. The anal cavity develops from the mesoderm and the oral cavity develop ectoderm. Both cavities develop at the same time during gastrulation and can not be differentiated in the adult. Both cavities develop at different times from the mesoderm and can not be differentiated in the adult unless it is cut open.arrow_forwardThe body plan of an annelid displays meaning that the body is divided into a series of repeated regions.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a characteristic found in sea stars?

- You are trying to identify a living organism which you are observing closely. Which one of the following would convince you that the organism is acoelomate? It responds to food by moving toward it. It is triploblastic. It has bilateral symmetry. It possesses sensory structures at its anterior end. Muscular activity of its digestive system distorts the body wall. The flatworms have a true coelom a pseudocoelom radial symmetry tissues derived from the three basic germ layers (i.e. they are triploblastic) need help with both questions for my HW please thank you!arrow_forwardFigure 27.9 Which of the following statements about diploblasts and triploblasts is false? Animals that display radial symmetry are diploblasts. Animals that display bilateral symmetry are triploblasts. The endoderm gives rise to the lining of the digestive tract and the respiratory tract. The mesoderm gives rise to the central nervous system.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a member of the phylum Chordata? a. Cephalochordata b. Echinodermata c. Urochordata d.

- Feeding and gas exchange in chordates is via pharyngeal gill slits. True False In tunicate larvae, the notochord is used to anchor the animal to the substrate. True False The madreporite located on the oral surface is to take water into the water vascular system.

Ascaris is a parasite that swims constantly in human intestines. What structure protects the nematode from being digested? View the Trichinella slide. Trichinella is also a parasite. It can infect humans as well as other mammals like pigs, bears, and rodents. If untreated, it can lead to death.What mammal tissue does this roundworm infect?Draw a picture below of the Trichinella as viewed under the microscope. Although not mentioned on the website, if available view the live vinegar eel specimens.
