Q

what type of animal are cephalopods

A

Marine predators

Integral head & foot; tentacles, usually with suckers

19
Q

whats special about the shell of cephalopods

A

Shell usually internal; “cuttlebone” of Sepia provides support & bouyancy

20
Q

how are squids(cephalopods) adapted for fast swimming

A

Squids have elongated body, fins & ”jet propulsion” for fast swimming

21
Q

cephalopods wheres the brain and whats special about it

A

in the braincase

highly developed and sophisticated behavior

22
Q

cephalopods sex

A

seperate sexes with courtship displays

23
Q

what does sthe phylum annelida mean in latin

A

annel = ringed

24
Q

what kinda species are annelids

A

Fan worms, bristle worms, earthworms & leeches

25
Q

annelids, what are they like?

A

Bilateral symmetry and segmented body

Body covered with chaetae (bristles used for movement)

26
Q

annelids (a)coelomates?

A

coelomates

27
Q

coelomate advantages

A

hydrostatic skeleton

transport of excretory and sexual products

28
Q

annelids have metameric segmentation, what is this

A

allow independent movement of different portions of muscles.

29
Q

where do annelids live

A

Marine, fresh water and terrestrial species.

30
Q

how do annelids reproduce

sludgeworms

35
Q

what is a hirudineate

A

eg leeches

36
Q

what does errantia mean in latin

A

errant = travelling

40

42
Q

sexes in sedents

A

hermaphrodites

43
Q

what is metameric segmentation

A

The repetition of organs and tissues at intervals along the body of an animal, thus dividing the body into a linear series of similar parts or segments
