Bony Fish
Describe the colors and textures of the dissected perch (bony fish), their functions, and the ways in which the internal anatomy of the perch is similar to and differs from that of the shark. How does the anatomy of the digestive system influence the food preference of the perch, compared to that of the shark? Compare the two organisms in their buoyancy mechanisms, and the means of oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange. What is the ecology of the perch (including a preference for fresh or saltwater, food preference (are all herbivores? Carnivores?)) What economic importance do fish have?
Compare the following animals in terms of their digestive tracts (centerpoint only needed in the graph (similarities))
Crayfish have gills but open circulatory systems, whereas squid have gills but closed systems. What does this difference tell you about each animal's average metabolic needs?
What other large surface do squid use for gas exchange, and what internal structure in the squid serves as defense?
Explain everything in three paragraphs.

Question 13 options: The planarian does not have digestive system. The planarian digestive system is a branching gut sac that only has one opening to the environment. The planarian digestive system has a body opening to the environment on both of its ends, but a vertebrate digestive system does not. The vertebrate digestive system does not have as many highly specialized organs as that of vertebrates.arrow_forward
