Lab 9: Invertebrates

QuestionAnswer
The anatomy and behavior of a sponge aid and its survival and its ability to reproduce. How does a sponge Protect itself from predators? Acquire and digest food? Spicules, toxins, & camouflage Filter feeding, amoebocytes, continuous flow
Which specialized cells give cnidarians their name, and what is their function? Cnidocytes are stinging cells that protect the organism and help capture prey
How does a hydra acquire and digest food? Tentacles with cnidocytes along with the mouth and gastrovascular cavity
How does a hydra protect itself from predators? Stinging cells along with flexibility and small size
How do humans get infected with the pig tapeworm? Eating undercooked or raw pork
What is the function of a tapeworm's hook and suckers? Secure to the hosts intestine
Why would you expect a tapeworm to have a reduced digestive system? Doesn’t digest its own food
Proglottids mature into “bags of eggs’. Given the life cycle of the tapeworm, why might a tapeworm have an expanded reproductive system compared to a planarian? Must produce massive number of eggs
How are roundworms more advanced than flatworms? Complete digestive tract with mouth and anus
Which diseases are caused by roundworms? Trichinosis, elephantiasis, and hookworm
The digestive tract has both a mouth and an anus. What is the advantage of this? Allows one-way flow of food
A body cavity which allows space for the organs, is incompletely lined with mesoderm. How would the presence of these two features lead to complexity? Provides space for organs and a hydrostatic skeleton
Describe behavior of rotifer’s behavior. Moves towards vegetation
What structural feature is present in vertebrates but lacking in the invertebrates? Backbone
What is an incompletely lined body cavity called? Pseudocolem
What type of symmetry is associated with one plane of symmetry and definite right and left halves? Bilateral symmetry
What is the name of the main opening in a sponge through which water is expelled? Osculum
What are the hard and sharp projections of a calcareous sponge called? Spicules
What is the name given to the body form of a cnidarian that has a mouth directed upward? Polyp
What kind of symmetry do organisms classified as cnidarian have? Radical symmetry
What is the fluid-filled capsule in a cnidocyte called? Nematocyst
What structure in a planarian digests food and ensures that nutrients get to all the cells? Branched gastrovascular cavity
What is the name given to the ciliated cells that perform excretion for a planarian? Flame cells
What structures enable a tapeworm to attach itself to the intestinal wall of its host? Hooks and suckers
What are the anterior and posterior ends of a complete digestive tract called? Mouth and anus
Which of the phyla covered in this lab exercise have complete digestive tracts? Roundworms
Which phylum of animals uses a crown of cilia to draw water and food into the mouth? Rotifera
Earthworm Habitat Moist soil or underground burrows
Earthworm feeding mode Detritivore
Earthworm skeleton Hydrostatic skeleton
Earthworm Segmentation Segmented body
Earthworm Circulation Closed circulating system
earthworm respiratory organs Gas exchange through moist skin
earthworm locomotion Use setae and muscle to crawl
earthworm reproductive organs Hermaphrodite
Crayfish locomotion Jointed legs
Crayfish respiration gills
Crayfish sense organs Antennae, Statocysts, and compound eyes
Crayfish nervous system Ventral nerve cord with ganglia
crayfish external reproductive features: male First pair of owimmerets enlarged
crayfish external reproductive features: female All swimmerets similar
grasshopper locomotion 3 pairs of jointed legs
grasshopper respiration Tracheal tubes with spiracles
grasshopper sense organs Antennae, compound eyes, and tympanum
Grasshopper nervous system Ventral nerve cord with ganglia
grasshopper external reproductive features: male Smaller abdomen
grasshopper external reproductive features: female Has ovipositor at tip of the abdomen
In insects with incomplete metamorphosis, do the nymphs or the adult have better developed wings? What is the benefit of wings to an insect? Adult. Allow the insects to move to new areas, escape predators, find food, and locate mates
What stage is missing when an insect has incomplete metamorphosis? What happens during this stage? Pupa The insects undergoes major transformation
What form, the larvae or the adult, disperses new individuals in flying insects that exhibit complete metamorphosis? How is this a benefit? Adult Adults can fly to new locations
In insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, the larvae and the adults utilize different food sources and habitat. Why might this be a benefit? It reduces competition for food and space between larvae and adults
What tissue layer lines the body cavity of an animal that contains a coelom? Mesoderm
Is an animal a protostome or a deuterostome if the first opening becomes the mouth? Protostome
What characteristics does an animal with a definite head region have? Cephalization
What organ is found inside the pericardial sac (pericardium)? Heart
What kind of skeleton do annelids have? Hydrostatic skeleton
To what system do the crops and gizzard of an earthworm belong? Digestive
What is the location of the nerve cord in an earthworm? Ventral
What phylum of animals have chitinous exoskeletons? Arthropoda
What are the excretory structures in a crayfish called? Green glands
How is air taken directly to the muscles in a grasshopper? Through tracheal tubes
What system of the echinoderms enables them to move about? Water vascular systems
What kind of symmetry does an adult starfish have? Radical symmetry
Where does water enter the water vascular system in a starfish? Through madreporite
Describe several of the specialized digestive organs in the animals studied in this laboratory given that they all have coelom and a complete digestive system with a separate mouth and anus. The gizzard is a muscular organ that grinds food. The intestine helps with chemical digestion and nutrients absorption. The pharynx is a muscular tube that pulls food into the mouth
Explain why an earthworm will die if it dries out based on the type of skeleton annelids have and the absence of a respiratory organ or system in the earthworm. Earthworms have a hydrostatic skeleton and don’t have a respiratory system. They breathe through their skin which must stay moist for oxygen to get to the blood stream. When their skin dries out they suffocate because gas exchange cannot occur.
Contrast an arthropod, the crayfish or the grasshopper, with representative echinoderm, the starfish, with regard to signs of cephalization and how the type of symmetry each has is related. Arthropods show cephalization. They have an obvious head region with attentiveness of sensory organs and brain. Echinoderms don’t show cephalization. Arthropods have bilateral symmetry . Echinoderms have radical symmetry
