- Worms use a hydrostatic skeleton to generate movement. How do they do this? a. 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_forwardFeathers and hair consist mainly of_______ . a. chitin c. keratin b. cartilage d. collagenarrow_forwardYou are confronted with two worms that, on first glance, appear to be very similar. Upon closer examination, however, you note one difference that allows you to identify one specimen as an earthworm and the other as a roundworm. That key characteristic is: A. The presence of a gastrovascular cavity B. The presence of a body cavity C. The presence of a muscle layer around the digestive tract D. The absence of a specialized gas exchange surface E. None of the characteristics listed above would allow an earthworm to be distinguished from a roundwormarrow_forward
- Which eukaryotes break down food externally and then absorb nutrients? a. animals b. fungi c. bacteria d. plants e. protistsarrow_forwardDue to human activities more carbon dioxide (CO2) is dissolving into the air, the ocean takes up more CO2 and becomes increasingly acidic. Increased ocean acidity makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce their calcium-rich hard parts. Explain three types of invertebrates that are likely to be adversely affected by an increase in ocean acidity.arrow_forwardFlatworms can reach a maximum size of around 40cm. Whilst this is big for a worm, there are certainly larger animals on earth. What might it be that restricts the flatworms body size? A. They have an exoskeleton that restricts their growth. B. They do not have a circulatory system. C. They are exothermic animals that have limited energy for growth. D. They are acoelomates and so the growth of their internal organs is restricted by growth of the outer body wall.arrow_forward
