Q

How do Sub-phylum Hexapoda, Class Insecta accomplish respiration?

A

Tracheids and spiracles for breathing air

  • suck in air through spiracles (like lungs that cover exoskeleton)
  • oxygen goes through tracheids to muscle

Q

Why won’t Sub-phylum Hexapoda, Class Insecta get very big?

A

Due to the way the respire, they won’t be able to enough oxygen to the core of body

Q

How do Sub-phylum Hexapoda, Class Insecta accomplish excretion?

A

Suck uric acid thorugh gut lumen using malpighian tubules

Q

How do Sub-phylum Hexapoda, Class Insecta accomplish flight?

A

Wings stable in two conformations. Muscles only have to provide small amount of force and exoskeleton will flip wing to other conformation.

  • Dorsal ventral muscles contract and pull wings up
  • Longitudinal thoracic muscles contract and pull wings down
  • Very fast and efficient (up to 86%)

Q

How do queens control what sex will be born?

A

The diploid (2n) queen can choose:

1) to lay unfertilized egg which will be male drone (1n)
2) to be impregnated by male drone to produce fertilized egg which will be female worker (2n)

Q

What kind of life history do the MOST DERIVED insects display?

A

Holometabolous life history

  • Egg to Maggot to Pupa to Adult
  • Buttferly makes egg, which turn into caterpillar larvae, which turn into a pupa (non-dispersive stage), which grow into adult buttterfly
17
Q

Are insects protostomes or deuterostomes?

A

protostomes

18
Q

What kind of circulatory system to insects have?

A

open

19
Q

What superphylum do Echinoderms belong to?

A

Deuterostomia (radial cleavage - anus before mouth)

20
Q

What kind of symmetry do Echinoderms exhibit?

A

Pentaradial symmetry as adults

21
Q

How do echinoderms move and breathe?

A

Water Vascular System and podia (tube feet)

22
Q

What is unique about echinoderm endoskeleton?

A

Mutable collagenous tissue allows endoskeleton to function like a exoskeleton

23
Q

What are the pedicellaria on echinoderms?

A

Defensive spines and pincers

24
Q

What are the classes of echinoderms?

A
Crinoidea - filter feeders
Holothuroidea - deposit feeders (sea cucumnbers)
Echinoidea - grazers (sea urchins)
Asteroidea - predators (sea stars)
Ophiuroidea - filter feeders
25
Q

What is the body plan of echinoderms?

A

Water Vascular System
-Hydraulic system

Water moves between tube feet (podia) and internal ampulla as muscles in each move water between the two

Muscles in suction cups of tube feet contract to provide attachment

26
Q

What do echinodermata class asteroidea use the pedicellaria for?

A

to bite the tube feet of other echinoderm predators

27
Q

What is found in the echinoderm body wall?

A

Papula (dermal gill) which enhances respiration

Ossicles

28
Q

What is the perivisceral coelom, what two structures are found there?

A

2nd coelomic cavity

1) Water vascular system
2) gonad

29
Q

What systems do echinoderms lack?

A

No blood vascular, excretory, or respiratory systems

-water vascular system instead

30
Q

What are the two sections of the echinoderm stomach?

A

Cardiac stomach and plyoric stomach

31
Q

What is found on the echinoderm tube foot?

A

Podium and sucker

32
Q

How are echinoderm body forms modified?

A

For feeding

33
Q

How do echinoderms reproduce?

A

sexual and asexual

-most are dioecious and free spawn their gametes

34
Q

How do echinoderms maximize fertilization?

A

Use environmental cues and pheromones to aggregate and synchronize spawning

35
Q

How do echinoderm larvae feed?

A

Have adult rudiment that forms inside that weighs down the larve, causing it to settle and then absorbing or eating it

36
Q

How do echinoderms accomplish respiration?

A

Dermal papulae and tube feet
