4. Using forceps or tweezers, gently pull the 4th or 5th pereiopod to examine its motion. Do so
without tearing the appendage off from the body. How would you describe its maneuverability?
What are the limitations to motion of these walking legs? Given their small size and limited
capacity for muscle attachment, how is it that this animal can use these appendages for motion?
5. Describe the structural differences between the pleopods and the pereiopods up the prawn.
What hypothesis can you make regarding the functional use of pleopods by comparison?
Pleopods of prawns are far larger in comparison to body size then crayfish (see drawings below).
What might this tell you about their use between the two closely related animals?
6. Compare the overall body plan of the prawn to that of an insect like a grasshopper (see drawings
below). Provide a complete side-by-side analysis of the two groups that would include body
regions, and appendages. Focus your comparison on how the…
Living vertebrates can be divided into two majorclades. Select the appropriate pair.(A) the chordates and the tetrapods(B) the urochordates and the cephalochordates(C) the cyclostomes and the gnathostomes(D) the marsupials and the eutherians

Observe the behavior of the live goldfish. Note the movement of the operculum. What is its function? Does a shark have an operculum? 2. Examine the model of the bony fish. Compare the fins, shape of the tail, scales and other external features with the shark. How do the fins of fish contribute to the evolutionary story of animals evolving to life on land? 1. Observe and compare the features of the amphibian specimens. 2. The frog will be used to review vertebrate anatomy. Begin by examining the thin skin of the frog. How does it compare to the skin of a reptile? Would the frogs skin help protect it against water loss? How is the frog able to supply its body tissues with enough oxygen even if there is some mixing of oxygenated deoxygenated blood? Amphibian, literally means “living on both sides”. Explain why amphibians have that name. What characteristics do reptiles have that make them more suited for terrestrial life than amphibians? Why are birds thought of as flying…arrow_forward
