Lab Final Flashcards
Taxis
oriented movement with respect to a gradient
Behaviour
the actions and reactions of whole organisms
What do euglena have
- chloroplasts for photosynthesis
- flagella for movement
what are used for light detection in Euglena
stigma
- consists of pigment shield and photoreceptor
What kind of phototactic is euglena
positively phototactic to low light intensity
negatively phototactic to bright light and darkness
what is the primary leaflet, secondary leaflet, petiole
Figure B page 8
what is the motor organ in mimosa pudica
pulvinus
- bulb shaped mass of cells at the bottom of each petiole
how does the transfer of stimulus occur in Mimosa pudica?
AP… hormone potentially
- transferred at high rate due to the plasmodesmata through pores
- depol causes K efflux and water follows this
The movements of Mimosa are referred to as ______ movements
nastic
what are the 3 major classes of Cnidaria
Anthozoa (sea Anemone)
Scyphozoa (jellyfish)
Hydrozoa
what do Cnidaria posess
Nematocysts
- used for defense and prey capture
- discharge by mechanical or chemical stimulia tion
Sensory structures in Cnidaria (2)
- Ocelli (light perception)
- Statocysts (gravity perception)
what were the 2 latin names for the Anthozoa (sea anemone) species that were used in the lab
- Anthopleura elegantissima
- Metridium senile
What happened when Anthropleura elegantissima and Metridium senile were touched
both closed up
Food results for Anthropleura elegantissima and Metridium senile
AE can grab large food, injest the large food
MS can’t grab large food, can grab tiny food particles in the broth
Nudibranch results for Anthropleura
strong antipredator response of the Anthropleura to the shaggy seamouse (Aeolidia papillosa)
what are the names of the 2 jellyfish used in lab 2
- Polyorchis penicillatus
2. Gonionemus vertens
What sensory structure does Polyorchis penicillatus have
ocelli
- can detect light
- have a strong shadow response!! REFLEX
Gonionemus vertens
no ocelli
- NO shadow response
- don’t have light sensor organs
what jellyfish somersaults
Gonionemus vertens
what are behaviour patterns
probabilistic sequence of behavioural acts, single behavioural acts, or simultaneous cluster of behavioural acts
behavioural patterns in Gonionemus
somersaulting, tentacle anchoring, swimming
how does somersaulting occur in Gonionemus
inversion of the medusa as it strikes the water surface
Flatworm phylum
platyhelminthes
what are the lateral projections of the head of flatworms called?
auricles
- highest concentration of ciliary R on auricles and tentacles
Latin name for the flatworms used in this lab
Dugesia drotocephala
what is important for both operant and classical conditioning
time
- CC - conditioned stimulus is presented immediately prior
- OC - close temporal connection between action and reward
