Concept explainers

Classification of Marine Organisms

Classification is a way of categorizing organisms that enables an easy process of identification of such organisms. All living things are classified by grouping them under specific categories. The grouping is done based on the close relativeness of the organisms. The classification tool requires knowledge of characteristics, differences, and similarities between different organisms.

Figure 27.6 Which of the following statements is false? Eumetazoans have specialized tissues and parazoans don’t. Lophotrochozoa and Ecdysozoa are both Bilataria. Acoela and Cnidaria both possess radial symmetry. Arthropods are more closely related to nematodes than they are to annelids.
Figure 28.21 Which of the following statements about the anatomy of a mollusk is false? Mollusks have a radula for grinding food. A digestive gland is connected to the stomach. The tissue beneath the shell is called the mantle. The digestive system includes a gizzard, a stomach, a digestive gland, and the intestine.
Serial repetition of the body parts is most specifically referred to as O tacky metamerization O proglottidism tagmatization somaticism tubiculous
A radula in a gastropod is a female reproductive structure A sharp, tooth like structure for killing prey a structure that aids in feeding a sense organ for detecting light Which choice correctly identifies the body plan of a Mollusc? radial symmetry bilateral symmetry asymmetry (no symmetry)
Mollusca (clams, abalone, nudibranchs, snails, squid, octopi, etc). Unifying features include shell, mantle, radula, foot, visceral mass Which classes show a loss of the shell. How does the shell benefit an organism, how does the loss of the shell benefit other members of this phylum? Distinguish between polyplacophora, bivalva, gastropoda, and chephalopoda We see the first evolution of a true eye here. Who has it? What are chromatophores? How doe members of this group use them? What other unique defense addaptaions do we see in this group? (warning colors, 2 shells, ink)
Class Gastropoda and Class Bivalvia independently evolved modifications to their body plan that allowed them to invade sandy and muddy habitats, burying their bodies under the surface and accessing the surface via siphons. For an example organism in each Class, (1) draw a diagram showing the morphological modifications and (2) write a description of how this organism had evolved from the hypothetical ancestral mollusk (HAM) body plan.
The only members of Phylum Mollusca that have a radula are the gastropods (True/False)?
A unique feature of the gastropods is that they undergo the process of embryonic torsion. This process results in; The spiral shaped shell that gastropods have The gastropod develops retractable antennae the anus being positioned near the head The gastropod foot becomes elongated and pliable
Which is/are true of the mollusc radula a toothed structure is a synapomorphy of Mollusca is situated in the foregut present in bivalves A potential disadvantage of torsion in gastropods: consumption of feces more efficient gas exchange head protection small body size
What type of symmetry is seen in the roundworm? Does it exhibit cephalization? Ascaris is a parasite that swims constantly in human intestines. What structure protects the nematode from being digested? View the Trichinella slide. Trichinella is also a parasite. It can infect humans as well as other mammals like pigs, bears, and rodents. If untreated, it can lead to death.What mammal tissue does this roundworm infect?Draw a picture below of the Trichinella as viewed under the microscope.
