17
Q

Name for both oligochaete and hirudinea?

A

Clitellata

18
Q

Polychaeta habitat

A

Marine

19
Q

Two ecological types of Polychaetes?

A

Errant

Sedentary

20
Q

Errant polychaetes

A

Wandering - have eyes and sensory appendages

21
Q

Sedentary polychaetes

A

Live in burrows or tubes

22
Q

Parapodia

A

Paired muscular appendages with bristles used in locomotion, sensing or respiration

Can move sand/water as they move

23
Q

What type of polychaete has parapodia?

A

Errant

24
Q

How do errant wandering polychaetes use their longitudinal muscles?

A

Contraction of longitudinal muscles to throw body into curves and create undulations

25
Q

How are errant polychaetes characterised?

A

Active predators that bite

26
Q

How do sedentary polychaetes feed?

A

Filter feeding

Crown of tenetacles protruding from worm with cilia on them. Small particles get trapped in these and the cilia pass it down to the mouth.

27
Q

How do sedentary polychaetes use their segments?

A

To irrigate their tube for fresh water

28
Q

Dioecious (polychaetes)

A

Having male and female reproductive organs in separate individuals

29
Q

Polychaete reproduction

A

External fertilisation as gametes are released into the sea. Involves larval stages.

30
Q

4 differences between oligochaetes and polychaetes

A

Oligochaetes:

  1. Freshwater
  2. No parapodia (don’t swim often)
  3. No eyes/tentacles on head (not predators)
  4. Hermaphrodite and mating
31
Q

Oligochaete example

A

Earthworm

32
Q

Polychaeta example

A

Ragworms

Lugworms

33
Q

Clitellum

A

Glandular section in body wall of some annelids which secretes a viscid sac in which eggs are deposited

34
Q

Gonad

A

Organ that produced gametes

35
Q

Oligochaete reproduction

A

Hermaphrodites

Clitellum secretes mucous cocoon where fertilisation occurs

36
Q

Leeches (hirudinea) feeding

A

Ecroparasites

Some are predators

37
Q

What have leeches lost that oligochaetes and polychaetes have?

A

Septa - allows body to stretch more

38
Q

Disadvantage of loss of septa in leeches

A

Not as useful for locomotion

39
Q

Three weird annelids

A

Sipuncula (peanut worms)
Echiura (spoon worms) - flattened, grooves proboscis
Pogonophora (beard worms) - giant deep sea worm in hydrothermal vents

40
Q

Example of an annelid which has lost segmentation?

A

Sipuncula (peanut worms)
