- You are confronted with two worms that, on first glance, appear to be very similar. Upon closer examination, however, you note one difference that allows you to identify one specimen as an earthworm and the other as a roundworm. That key characteristic is: A. The presence of a gastrovascular cavity B. The presence of a body cavity C. The presence of a muscle layer around the digestive tract D. The absence of a specialized gas exchange surface E. None of the characteristics listed above would allow an earthworm to be distinguished from a roundwormarrow_forwardThe epitheliomuscular cells found in cnidarians anticipate the muscular system of more complex animals. The absence of muscle tissue in cnidarians primarily reflects... A. The fact that cnidarians are basal metazoans, having specialised cells but lacking tissues B. The presence of only two germ layers, ectoderm and endoderm, in cnidarian embryos C. The fact that cnidarians lack a nervous system D. The sessile lifestyle observed in all cnidarians E. All of the above explain the absence of muscle tissue in cnidariansarrow_forwardTapeworms differ from other flatworms in that for movement: O a. They have well-developed muscles for active movement. O b. They can attach by hooks and a ring of suckers, but otherwise have little activity. O c. They permanently glue themselves in a fixed position. O d. They have a pair of suckers that can attach and release. O e. They move slowly by passing waves of muscular contraction along their body.arrow_forward
- What is a characteristic of the circulatory systems of arthropods and mollusks that distinguishes them from the circulatory system of echinoderms? They have lungs.
