PSS Final Exam Review Questions all Solved 100%
CORRECT/ Verified Answers
4 different types of feeding - ✔✔Piercing sucking (ex cicada), chewing (ex katydid), siphoning
(ex butterfly), lapping-sucking (ex bee)
Insect wing veins - ✔✔costa, subcosta, radial, medial, cubita, anal
Color production in integument - ✔✔Pigmentation (absorbing/ refracting light) and
structures defracting light
Wing Types - ✔✔elytra, hemelytra, tegmina, halteres, fringed, hairy, scaly
Elytra - ✔✔leathery front wing and membraneous hind wing ex) beetles
Hemelytra - ✔✔leathery at base and membraneous at tip ex) cicada
tegmina - ✔✔leathery ex) grasshoppers
halteres - ✔✔club like structure to stabilize flight ex)flies
fringed - ✔✔hairy on front and hind wings ex) thrips
hairy - ✔✔clothed in setae ex) dragonfly
scaly - ✔✔flattened setae ex) butterfly
, River and watershed linkage - ✔✔-through the food web, many terrestrial species are
dependent of food from aquatic source and vis versa.
-their are bugs that start off as an immature in aquatic and emerge to terrestrial living
Do insects feel pain?` - ✔✔No the way their body works the nervous system does not

chellicera mouthparts, subphylum chellicerata, and no antennae
Loxosceles Reclusa - ✔✔Brown Recluse Spider
Environmental stimuli - ✔✔mechanical, chemical, thermal, and visual
Tospoviruses - ✔✔Early instal thrips are impotent vectors of tospoviruses because of the
proximity of salivary glands to midgut. Even though mature thrips can't acquire the viruses,
they can transmit them if they were acquired at a younger age.
Anthonomus Grandis - ✔✔Boll Weevil
Dolbear's law - ✔✔There is an association of temp and an increased frequency of chirping.
t= 10(N-40) +7
Difference between non-insect hexapods and insects - ✔✔they are 6-legged and wingless
