Chapter 32, Problem 15TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The making of a hypothesis to explain the observation related to the shark and rays feeding behaviour, as despite of their predatory feeding habit, largest species feed on plankton.
Introduction:
The largest fishes present in the ocean depends on sea’s smallest organisms for their food. It includes a number of massive plankton-feeding elasmobranchs. Elasmobranchs is a group of fishes that includes rays and sharks. These fish species are evolved the adaptations to gulp a huge amount of water followed by filtering of plankton, shrimp and small fishes. These filter- feeding species evolved their particular diet and feeding morphology independent to each other.

It makes a comparison
between annelids (segmented
worms) and nematodes
(roundworms). It establishes
comparison based on the basic
characteristics of each group
and how each group evolves.
Crustaceans, like annelids, are segmented animals. But crustaceans unlike annelids have tagmata. What are some advantages and disadvantages to this type of segmentation in comparison to annelids? Give an example in your answer for both an advantage and a disadvantage.
