Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Echinoderms are the ancient animals that possess marine animals. They contain a unique hydraulic system that is composed of a central ring canal. For example: star fish.

Answer to Problem 1U

Correct answer:

Ossicles structure is not a component of the water-vascular system of an echinoderm. Therefore, option a. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Echinoderm has a water-vascular system that is formed by the components such as radial canals, ampullae and madreporite. It is a unique hydraulic system that is made up of a central ring canal.

Option a. is given as “Ossicles”.

As, “the structure ossicles is not responsible for the formation of water-vascular system of an echinoderm”, is the right answer.

Hence, option a. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “Ampullae”.

It is responsible for the formation of water-vascular system of an echinoderm. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option b. is given as “Radial canals”.

It causes the secretion of fluid through tubes in the water-vascular system. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option d. is given as “Madreporites”.

Madreporites are the components that are present in the water-vascular system of the echinoderms. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options b., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The water-vascular system is present in the echinoderms for the exchange of liquid through the pores in the body of echinoderms.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
