Q

What happens to potential food particles after they are captured by the ctenidium of mussels?

A

Cilia carry the particles to the food groove and then along the food groove towards the mouth. When particles reach the anterior end of the groove they are sorted by the labial palps. If particles are edible they go into the mouth. If not, the pseudofaeces is pushed away from the mouth.

Q

Flow of water through the mantle cavity of a mussel

A

Enters through ventral inhalant siphon, moves posterior to anterior passing over ctenidia, reaches anterior end and flows dorsally picking up any pseudofaeces from labial palps, on its way back to posterior end it picks up nitrogenous waste from kidneys and gametes from the genital papilla if spawning. Passes under the posterior abductor muslce, picks up feces from anus and exits mantle cavity vie dorsal exhalant siphon.

Q

Earthworm reproduction

A

Earthworms are monoecious. The testes produce sperm which are stored in seminal vesicles. The spermathecae stores sperm from a mate and then the clitellum secretes a mucus cocoon that picks up eggs from its own ovaries and sperm from the spermathecae. The cocoon is expelled and fertilization occurs.
