Select the answer that is TRUE about insects.
Question 19 options:
a)
The circulatory and respiratory systems in insects work together the same way they do in vertebrates.
b)
There are species of insects that humans are very dependent upon.
c)
The respiratory system of insects includes lungs.
d)
Insects have closed circulatory systems.
The evolution of multi-cellular body plan (first demonstrated by the Porifera) probably occurred because of the evolution of specialized molecules that include: a) membrane proteins (adhering proteins) that bind the cell membranes together, b) digestive enzymes found in the digestive tract, c) amoebocytes that contain hemoglobin, d) mesosomes that utilize chlorophyll, e) all of these
When describing this experiment to your friends, they point out that rotifers are multicellular predators and thus cannot have been responsible for the earliest transition from single cell to multicellularity. Based on what you have learned in this lab and in the paper by Herron et al. 2019, what would be an informed response to this comment include? Select all that apply.
Question 3 options:
It is irrelevant that rotifers are multicellular in our study as some of the predators of small unicellular organisms are themselves unicellular, and predation, whether by a unicellular or multicellular organism, was all that was needed.
Multicellularity evolved many times. While multicellular predators cannot have been responsible for the earliest transition from unicellular to multicellularity, they may have played a role in some of the later transitions which occurred after the evolution of animals.
Using a multicellular predator is…
