- 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_forwardEndoskeletons: a. protect internal organs and provide structures against which the force of muscle contraction can work. b. differ from exoskeletons in that endoskeletons do not support the external body. c. cannot be found in echinoderms. d. are composed of cartilaginous structures that form the skull. e. compose the arms and legs.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a true statement comparing exoskeletons and endoskeletons? a. Endoskeletons can support larger organisms. b. Only endoskeletons can grow as an organism grows. c. Exoskeletons provide greater protection of the internal organs. d. Exoskeletons provide less mechanical leverage.arrow_forward

- How do bones enable muscles to move a body part? A. They support the entire length of muscles. B. They protect the muscles from the environment. C. They provide new cells for muscles when needed. D. They serve as places to anchor or attach muscles. E. All of the above answer choices correctly answer the question.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not possible? a. radially symmetrical diploblast b. diploblastic eucoelomate c. protostomic coelomate d. bilaterally symmetrical deuterostomearrow_forwardThe epitheliomuscular cells found in cnidarians anticipate the muscular system of more complex animals. The absence of muscle tissue in cnidarians primarily reflects... A. The fact that cnidarians are basal metazoans, having specialised cells but lacking tissues B. The presence of only two germ layers, ectoderm and endoderm, in cnidarian embryos C. The fact that cnidarians lack a nervous system D. The sessile lifestyle observed in all cnidarians E. All of the above explain the absence of muscle tissue in cnidariansarrow_forward
- Why do you think the hydrostatic skeleton is eventually lost in animals withexoskeleton and endoskeleton? Give at least two examples.arrow_forwardCompare the bat to the bird. Where is the bat's ulna? Are there any remnants of it? How is the bat's wing membrane supported by its skeleton? Be precise. Does a bird's wing work in the same way? How many metacarpals and digits ("fingers") does it have? (This is all just one question on comparing the bat to the bird)arrow_forwardCrayfish, unlike earthworms, do not have a hydrostatic skeleton. Instead, crayfish have a rigid exoskeleton. Give 2 advantages to the having the exoskeleton and 2 disadvantages.arrow_forward
