Q

All bivalves are filter-feeders. What does this mean?

A

It means they draw in and then expel water, and their morphology reflects specialization for this kind of lifestyle

Q

When the mussel has been opened, what is the flap of tissue first observed?

A

It is called the mantle and secretes the shell. (If debris gets stuck between the mantle and shell, the mantle will secrete layers around it.)

Q

What sets cephalopods apart from other mollusks?

A

1) they either have a greatly reduced and internalized shell or no shell at all 2) rather than a large muscular foot, it is differentiated into arms and tentacles that aid in grasping prey 3) they have a closed circulatory system

32
Q

How do the tentacles and arms of a squid differ in size and morphology?

A

There are many arms which are small with suckers all around while the there are 2 tentacles with suckers only at the ends. The tentacles are also much longer than the arms

33
Q

What does the siphon on the posterior surface of a squid do?

A

It is where the squid expels water after taking it into the mantle cavity. Squids use this to propel themselves!!

Number 2 = siphon

34
Q

What is the edge of the mantle beside the eye known as?

A

Known as the collar

35
Q

What is the pen of a squid?

A

A projection of the mantle with a hard structure inside, on the anterior side of a squid

36
Q

Where is the radula in a squid found?

A

It is found inside the mouth

37
Q

Which animal phylum contains the most animals and individuals?

A

The arthropods

38
Q

Where are arthropods found?

A

In almost any environment. From the bottom of the ocean to deserts to mountain tops

39
Q

How do arthropods feed?

A

They can be filter feeders, herbivores, carnivores and parasites

40
Q

What sets the arthropods apart?

A

1) have a cuticle that is more elaborate and forms a tough exoskeleton that is shed as the animal grows 2) they have external segmentation (like annelids) but this is not as obvious in modern arthropods since segments become fused into specialized regions called tagmata

41
Q

The four living subphyla of Arthropoda?

A

1) Chelicerata 2) Myriapoda 3) Crustacea 4) Hexapoda

42
Q

How do Chelicerata feed?

A

They have distinctive pincer-like appendages called chelicerae and also pedipalps that aid in feeding

43
Q

How can the Chelicerata be identified?

A

1) distinctive mouthparts 2) presence of 8 walking legs 3) have simple eyes

44
Q

Animals in Chelicerata?

A

Horseshoe crabs, spiders, ticks, mites

45
Q

Spiders?

A

1) All carnivorous 2) 8 walking legs 3) Chelicerae and pedipalp 4) 2 tagmata 5) Three pairs of spinnerets on posterior end which helps spiders spin webs from their silk glands

46
Q

Two most well known groups in Myriapoda?

A

Millipedes and centipedes

47
Q

How do Myriapoda feed?

A

With the chewing mouthparts, maxillae and mandibles (not related but Myriapoda can also have antennae)

48
Q

How many legs on each segment and how many tagmata in a centipede?

A

1) 2 legs on each segment 2) many tagmata! (I think!)

49
Q

Characteristics of Crustacea?

A

1) in larger species, the exoskeleton is hardened on the dorsal side to form a carapace 2) have mandible and maxillae for feeding 3) antennae may be present but doesn’t have to

50
Q

Members of crustaceans?

A

Crabs, shrimps, lobsters, copepods (most marine)

51
Q

Crustacean dissected in lab 4?

A

A crayfish

52
Q

What is the most diverse and largest subphylum of Arthropoda?

A

Hexapoda and they can be found in almost any habitat! Many capable of powered flight and most have two pairs of wings Many also undergo metamorphosis

53
Q

What Hexapoda was dissected in lab 4?

A

A grasshopper

54
Q

What are the small dots found along the side of a grasshopper?

A

Spiracles and they’re the opening to the trachae These flexible air tubes connect to air sacs and have very fine branchings to deliver oxygen directly to cells

55
Q

What is the hemocoel?

A

Arthropods are true coelomates but the space between the body wall and digestive tract is the hemocoel. This is cuz it’s filled with a colourless circulatory fluid called hemolymph This fluid is pumped by a long tubular heart

56
Q

What runs along with the body of a grasshopper?

A

The ventral nerve cord The expanded regions (ganglia) of the nerve cord can be observed in each body segment

57
Q

Fruit fly anatomy?

A

3 tagmata present in fruit fly Compound eyes

58
Q

Two types of metamorphoses?

A

Complete and incomplete
