Q

Describe some characteristics of a bryozoan colony.

A

Small individuals, 1-2 mm, connected by strands of tissue

Some species have specialized individuals within the colony for feeding, reproduction, defense, or support

Colonies can form via asexual reproduction of the founding member, up to 2 million individuals

Sexual reproduction: sperm is released and carried to an internal egg.

Q

How come a majority of endoparasitic flatworms’ internal structure are devoted to reproduction and not digestion?

A

They can absorb nutrients directly from within the host, digestion has little use. Reproduction is necessary for the endoparasite to find a new host and pass on its genes.

46
Q

Pognophorans have no digestive tract. What are the two ways they acquire nutrition?

A

55
Q

What is the mollusk’s mantle?

A
  • Fold of tissue that covers organs in the visceral mass; secretes the calcareous shell.

A

Clams, oysters, scallops, and mussels.

64
Q

What are some characteristics of bivalves?

A

Have hinged, two-part shells. Many use the foot to burrow into mud or sand.

Feed by bringing water in the incurrent siphon and filtering food particles with large gills; water exits through the excurrent siphon.

Cephalopods are a major clade of living mollusks. What are some examples of cephalopods?

A

Squids, octopi, and nautili

66
Q

What are some characteristics of cephalopods?

A

High degree of mobility: water can be forcibly ejected from the body cavity, creating “jet propulsion.”

chambered

68
