27
Q

What do sea stars feed on?

A

bivalves such as oysters and clams

28
Q

How do sea stars eat?

A

use arms and tube feet to pry shells apart and expose soft viscera inside; digest food extraorally (outside body) evert their stomach and engulfing their prey’s tissue before digesting it

29
Q

What class do brittle stars belong to?

A

Class Ophiuroidea

30
Q

What is unique about brittle stars?

A

secretive, fast, and brittle

31
Q

What is the path of water through a sea star?

A

madreporite > stone canal > ring canal > radial canal > tube feet

32
Q

What is the function of a water vascular system?

A
  1. transporting food/wastes 2. movement 3. respiration
33
Q

What kinds of animals are in Class Echinoidea?

A

sea urchins and sand dollars

34
Q

What is the shell covering echinoids called?

35
Q

What do urchins have to help protect against predators?

36
Q

What do sea urchins and sand dollars eat?

A

algae and other organic matter

37
Q

What is Aristotle’s Lantern?

A

highly developed producible jaw apparatus

38
Q

What class are sea cucumbers a part of?

A

Class Holothuroidea

39
Q

What is the body like in sea cucumbers?

A

bilateral symmetry; armless, pentaradial organization preserved as five rows of tube feet emerge at the “head” end and stop in front of posterior end; ventral surface has 3 rows of ambulacra and dorsal surface has 2; mouth surrounded by buccal podia (tentacles)

40
Q

How do sea cucumbers breathe?

A

respiratory tree attached to cloaca, small internal chamber precedes anus

41
Q

T/F Water is pumped in and out of cloaca to allow gas exchange across thin walls of tree.

42
Q

What are the 4 features that all organisms in Phylum Chordata have?

A
  1. notochord-flexible, supporting rod 2. dorsal, hollow nerve cord 3. pharyngeal, gill slits 4. post-anal tail
43
Q

What 3 subphyla do chordates belong to?

A
  1. Urochordata 2. Cephalochordata 3. Vertebrata (those with a spinal column)
44
Q

What organisms belong to Subphylum Urochordata?

A

tunicates, sea squirts

45
Q

What is a tunic?

A

cellulose space surrounds a sieve-like basket

46
Q

Where does water enter and exit in tunicates?

A

enters though incurrent siphon and exits through excurrent siphon

47
Q

How is the water current generated in tunicates?

A

cilia that line the pharynx

48
Q

How do tunicates feed?

A

minute particles of food filtered out and passed by cilia to stomach

49
Q

What organisms belong to Subphylum Cephalochordata?

A

cephalochordates or lancelets

50
Q

What features make up cephalochordates?

A

lack fins and bones, poorly developed head, possess only basic organ systems

51
Q

How do lancelets feed?

A

burrow in sediment and expose mouth and tentacles (cirri) to surface and filter out suspended food particles, water drawn into mouth by cilia, tiny food particles are then filtered by pharynx and passed to intestine, excess water leaves via pharyngeal gill slits and exits the body though an opening called the atriopore

52
Q

What 8 classes belong to Subphylum Vertebrate?

A

Cephalospidomorphi (jawless fishes), Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes), Sarcopterygii (lobe-finned fishes), Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes), Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia

53
Q

What characteristics set vertebrate apart from all other organisms?

A

cranium and vertebral column, cephalization (concentration of nervous tissue and sensory structures in well defined head), endoskeleton (cartilage or bone), and adaptations to circulatory and respiratory systems

54
Q

What are characteristics of lampreys?

A

eel-like design, jawless mouth, pore-like gill slits, lack of paired fins, cartilaginous endoskeleton, diphycercal caudal fin, large eyes, single nostril on top of head, seven gills on each side

55
Q

T/F All lampreys are parasitic.

A

False: only some; non-parasitic forms do not eat as adults and have a brief lifespan

56
Q

What does anadromous mean?

A

live in sea and then ascend freshwater rivers and streams to spawn

57
Q

What are lamprey larvae called?

A

ammocoetes

58
Q

What class do lobe-finned fishes belong to?

A

Class Sarcopterygii

59
Q

What are characteristics of lobe-finned fishes?

A

bony endoskeletons and paired fins have a large, muscular lobe supported by a bony, fully articulated limb

60
Q

What is the moveable bony plate covering the gills called/

61
Q

Do lobe-finned fishes have a swim bladder?

62
Q

Sarcopterygii have only how many species present?

A

2 coelacanth and 6 lungfish

63
Q

Which fossil led scientists to believe that amphibians evolved directly from lobe-finned fishes?

64
Q

What were features of Tiktaalik?

A

gills and scales but neck like amphibian and limbs like amphibians but the tips of limbs are lobed fins not toes

65
Q

What class do ray-finned fishes belong to?

A

Class Actinopterygii

66
Q

Ray-finned fishes are divided into 2 groups. What are they?

A

chondrosteans and neoptergians

67
Q

What are teleosts?

A

modern body fishes, most diverse group of fishes
