Concept explainers
To enlist:
The characteristics and representatives of the given animal phyla.
Introduction:
Animal phyla include a list of the major groups of animals that include invertebrates and vertebrates. Invertebrates are the animals that do not have a backbone and the vertebrates are the backbone bearing animals.

Explanation of Solution
The key characteristics and the representatives of the animal phyla are described in the following table.
Phylum |
Characteristics |
Representatives |
Sponges |
They are included in phylum porifera. It is a simple animal with no mouth, heart or muscles. It is sessile animal containing many pores and cells for filter feeding. Asymmetrical. |
Sponges and common bath sponge. |
Cnidarians |
They are aquatic animals. Coelom is absent. They contain cnidocyte cells to capture prey. Radial symmetry. |
Sea anemone, jellyfish, corals and Obelia. |
|
Included in phylum Platyhelminthes. No body cavity. Bilateral symmetry. |
Planaria and tape worms. |
Nematodes |
They have complete |
Roundworms and hookworms. |
Molluscs |
They have a soft and unsegmented body. Have mantle and the muscular foot. |
Snails, squids, octopus and mussels. |
Annelida |
They are the true segmented worms. Have closed circulatory system. |
Earthworms and leeches. |
Arthropods |
Presence of jointed legs, antennae, exoskeleton and closed circulatory system. Bilateral symmetry. |

Sucralfate comes as a 1 gm tablet, famotidine as 20 mg tablets, and doxycycline as 100mg tablets. All are in bottles of 100 tablets.How many total mg are needed for the patient and how many tablets of each would be needed to provide each dose?How many bottles of each would be needed to have available if this patient were to be on this drug regimen for 5 days?arrow_forwardThe patient needs a solution of 2.5% dextrose in Lactated Ringer’s solution to run at 75 ml/hr for at least the next 12hours. LRS comes in fluid bags of 500 ml, 1 Liter, 3 Liters and 5 Liters. How can a 2.5% solution be made by adding50% dextrose to the LRS?arrow_forward
- “Gretchen” was a 68-pound canine who came to the VMTH as small animal surgery patient. She receivedacepromazine, 0.2 mg/kg from a 10 mg/ml solution and oxymorphone, 0.08 mg/kg from a 1 mg/ml solution before surgery.What are the mechanisms of action of acepromazine and oxymorphone? Why would they be given together?How many mg provide each dose and how many ml of each of these solutions were given?arrow_forwardAfter surgery, “Gretchen” was put on carprofen, 1 mg/pound bid (twice a day). The tablets come in 25, 75 and 100 mgsizes. Which size tablet would be appropriate?What is the mechanism of action of carprofen?An outpatient prescription was written for her so she would have enough for 10 days. How many tablets did she need?What information needs to be on her out-patient prescription?arrow_forwardJoden Koepp olor in chickens is due to incomplete dominance.

However, a SNP in the position shown in gray (right) would prevent cleavage at this site by EcoRI One of the SNPs in B. rapa is found within the Park14 locus and can be detected by RFLP analysis. The CT polymorphism is found in the intron of the Bra013780 gene found on Chromosome 1. The Park14 allele with the "C" in the SNP has two EcoRI sites and thus is cleaved twice by EcoRI If there is a "T" in that SNP, one of the EcoRI sites is altered, so the Park14 allele with the T in the SNP has only one EcoRI site (Fig. 5-3).

When you sequence this enhancer you find several binding sites for the gap gene, Giant. To test how Giant interacts with eve, you decide to remove all of the Giant binding sites from the eve enhancer. What results do you expect to see with respect to eve expression?arrow_forward
