Their bones are filled with water, which provides the weight of the skeleton. b. The change in body structure is caused by contraction of muscles compressing the watery body fluid. c. The muscles contain water vacuoles, which, when filled, provide a rigid internal structure. d. The term hydrostatic simply refers to moist environment. They generate movement just as arthropods do.arrow_forward
- You are confronted with two creatures that, on first glance, both appear to be pill bugs. Upon closer examination, however, you note a difference that allows you to identify one specimen as a pill bug (an isopod crustacean) and the other as a pill millipede (a myriapod). That key characteristic is... A. The presence of an exoskeleton B. The presence of mandibles C. The presence of antennae D. The presence of branched appendages E. None of the characteristics listed above would allow an isopod crustacean to be distinguished from a myriapodarrow_forwardYou are studying the skeleton and bone morphology across reptiles. You find that in alligators a certain bone in the jaw has elongated whereas in a species of chameleon the bone has shortened in the jaw. In both species the bone still helps control feeding. Is this bone and skeletal morphology a homology? a. Yes, it is a homology b. No, it is not a homology c. Not enough information to tell d. The answer depends on the specific diet of each speciesarrow_forwardIt is thought that jaws, which are found in the higher vertebrates, evolved from: a. progressive hardening of the cyclostome mouth. b. cartilaginous arches used to support gills. c. small bones associated with the brain capsule. d. the bony teeth found on lamprey tongues.arrow_forward
