29) A student observes a wormlike organism crawling about on dead organic matter. Later, the organism sheds its outer covering. One possibility is that the organism is a larval insect (like a maggot). However, it might be a member of the phylum , and one way to distinguish between the two possibilities is by looking for. A) Platyhelminthes; a cuticle of chitin B) Nematoda; an alimentary canal C) Annelida; a body cavity D) Nematoda; a circulatory system E) Annelida; muscle in the body wall. 43) A stalked, sessile marine organism has several feathery feeding structures surrounding an opening through which food enters. The organism could potentially be a cnidarian, a lophophorate, a tube-dwelling worm, a crustacean, or an echinoderm.

Which of the following traits, if found in this organism, would allow the greatest certainty of identification? A) the presence of what seems to be radial symmetry B) a hard covering made partly of calcium carbonate C) a digestive system with mouth and anus separate from each other D) a water vascular system E) a nervous system. This nudibranch, a type of sea slug, has many reddish cerata on its dorsal surface, as well as two, white-tipped rhinophores located on the head. SEE IMAGE The nontaxonomic term sea slug encompasses a wide variety of marine gastropods. One feature they share as adults is the lack of a shell.

We might think, therefore, that they represent defenseless morsels for predators. In fact, sea slugs have multiple defenses.

Some sea slugs prey on sponges and concentrate sponge toxins in their tissues. Others feed on cnidarians, digesting everything except the nematocysts, which they then transfer to their own skins. Whereas the most brightly colored sea slugs are often highly toxic, others are nontoxic and mimic the coloration of the toxic species.

Their colors are mostly derived from pigments in their prey. There are also sea slugs that use their coloration to blend into their environments. 48) Sea slugs can obtain nematocysts by preying on sea A) anemones. D) cucumbers.

56) The sea slug, Elysia chorotica, has no nematocysts or dinoflagellates but, rather, has 'naked' chloroplasts in its skin. The chloroplasts are all that remain of the seaweed (Vaucheria sp.) that Elysia feeds upon. The chloroplasts are transferred to the skin; consequently, this slug is green. It spends most of its time basking in shallow water on the surface of seaweeds. How should we expect its chloroplasts to benefit the Elysia sea slug? Provide Elysia with fixed CO₂ 2. Provide Elysia with fixed N₂ 3.

A) 1 cell B) 5 cells C) 10 cells D) 50 cells E) 100 cells. Nudibranchs, a type of predatory sea slug, can have various protuberances (i.e., extensions) on their dorsal surfaces.

Watching further, she is able to conclude that the 'mystery organisms' are ambush predators, and their prey includes everything from insects to small fish and tadpoles.

This struck her as odd, because she had also learned that one of the things that keeps insects small is their relatively inefficient respiratory system. Which two hypotheses might help account for the large size of ancestral dragonflies? 1.If the atmosphere during the Carboniferous era had featured a higher oxygen content than the modern atmosphere, then the tracheae might have been a sufficient means for oxygen delivery to the interior tissues. If large size was a drawback, then the large dragonflies underwent extinction, which explains why all extant dragonflies are smaller. If the ancestral dragonflies had possessed muscles that permitted effective ventilation of the tracheae, then the tracheae might have been a sufficient means for oxygen delivery to the interior tissues.

If ancestral dragonflies existed during greenhouse conditions, then they must have survived by decreasing their activity levels, such as no longer capturing prey in flight. Thus, for them, an ineffective respiratory system was sufficient. A) 1 and 2 B) 1 and 3 C) 1 and 4 D) 2 and 3 E) 2 and 4.
