Question
Chapter 17, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The hydrostatic skeleton of annelids and the ways by which it helps in burrowing.
Introduction: Annelids are characterized as having segmented bodies. One of these phyla is named as Annelida. Some examples are marine bristle worms, leeches, earthworms. The segments on the bodies of the Annelids help in burrowing.
Summary Introduction
To describe: The ways by which the number of segments on the body affects burrowing efficiency.
Introduction: Annelids are the members of the phylum Annelida in kingdom Animalia. These include marine worms, freshwater, or terrestrial worms having segmented bodies.
