The second pair of maxillae also helps to draw water over the gills. Of the eight pairs of appendages on the cephalothorax, the first three are maxillipeds, which hold food during eating. The chelipeds are the large claws that the crayfish uses for defense and to capture prey. Each of the four remaining segments contains a pair of walking legs. In the abdomen, the first five segments each have a pair of swimmerets, which create water currents and function in reproduction. The sixth segment contains a modified pair of uropods. In the middle of the uropods is a structure called the telson, which bears the anus. The uropod and telson together make up the tail fan. The crayfish moves backward by forcing water forward with its tail…
Moving on to This first animal fossil feeding regiment and habitat. Ctenophores are considered as a carnivorous specie. They consume a variety of planktonic organisms like fish larvae. The amount of food they eat is extremely large and the only way they can do so is by progressively pumping water inside their body cavities. Comb jellies can live in a variety of locations. Some live near the shores other live in deep water, but what ever part of the ocean they are found in the majority of the time the water is warm. They basically prefer a warm environment. When it comes to adaptation this fascinating creature protects itself by producing when touched a colorful light that will scare away their predators, or attract larger predators that can now attack the predator of the comb jelly. But most of the comb jelly’s initial color when untouched is transparent which makes it easier for them to hide from their predators. It is a sort of camouflage. Furthermore comb jellies are considered as hermaphroditic which means that they have both the female and male reproductive system. They release on a daily basis an egg and a sperm in the water in hopes that it will…
All organisms in the world have a range of systems and organs in their body. Some organisms may share similar body systems while others have absolutely nothing in common. Several of those organisms include humans, pigs, crayfish, and earthworms. From their mushy, gushy organs to their soft, gentle skin, you may think, “How are humans and pigs possibly alike? Or a crayfish and an earthworm?” In many ways they may not be, but in other ways, they are very much alike. The body systems that will be compared and contrasted of these organisms are the nervous, circulatory, reproductive, muscular, integumentary, digestive, excretory, and skeletal systems.…
Crinoids possess an endoskeleton composed of calcareous plates and covered by a thin epidermis. Living, shallow water forms are extensively pigmented. Each plate is a single, very porous calcite crystal. Unfused plates are held together with ligaments or muscles.…
Then the primary consumers in the Great Barrier Reef are mostly the green sea turtles and dugongs because they are the herbivores and eat the producers. From there the secondary consumers in the reef would be what eats the primary consumers and these organisms would mostly be the bigger reef fish like the parrot fish, sturgeon fish, and also turtles like the leatherback sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, and other organisms like that. Then from there are the tertiary consumers which consume the secondary consumers and some examples of these in the reef are the epaulette shark, whale shark, tiger shark, and other examples like that. The last category of the organisms would be the decomposers which are the organisms that are stay on the bottom of the reef and eat whatever is down there and those are the prawns, sea cucumbers, shrimp, crayfish, crab, and brittle…
13. How can you tell if a shark is a male or female just by looking at it?…
The objective of this lab is to observe all of the provided chordates and vertebrates and describe them in the lab including a picture. Students are to know and understand the characteristics of each group and what makes them unique.…
Additionally, you will discuss the evolutionary relationships among the monerans, protists, and fungi, and how the endosymbiont theory relates to the evolutionary relationship between the monerans and protists.…
* Marine invertebrates: squid, cuttle- fish, octopus, marine snails, limpets, sponges, sea stars, sea squirts, nudibranchs, sea anemones, comb jellies, corals, Antarctic Krill, zoo plankton and many others…
We did this lab to further our understanding of Spiny dogfish shark anatomy and make the class more entertaining. People dissect organisms to find reasons for how they are able to do certain things. For example, the shark can chew through a great variation of things, because it has razor sharp teeth. I attempted to see what organ was connected to what and learn how squid differ from the human organ structure. I 've learned that the structure of the organs inside a shark are different of that of a humans for many reasons. One being that a squid has an extremely oily liver that helps it keep buoyancy in the ocean, another would be it does not have any bones in its body unlike a human.…
How would you describe the structure and function of this animal’s circulatory system? Include any unique characteristics.…
Daphnia: The reason Daphnia is used as the organism in this experiment is due to its transparent body which makes the heart visible. Daphnia is better than Brine shrimp because brine shrimp is not transparent meaning heart rate has to be measured by counting leg movement.…
