TAMU Biology 112 Lab Practical 2 Exam
Questions and Answers Verified 100%
Correct
Phylum Brachiopoda - Lophophorates - ANSWER -Characterized by lophophore
feeding structure
Sessile
True coelom

Lophophore - ANSWER -Feeding structure which consists of a crown of ciliated
tentacles surrounding the mouth

Brachiopods vs. Bivalves (Molluscs) - ANSWER -Brachiopod:
Lophophore PRESENT
Pedicle PRESENT
Symmetry PERPENDICULAR to valves
Shell CALCITE; CALCIUM PHOSPHATE; PROTEINS

Class Articula - ANSWER -Lamp shells
Articulating valves hinged along the posterior edge
Sockets or teeth which permit the valves to open along the anterior side for feeding

Pedicle PERMANENTLY ATTACHED TO SUBSTRATE
Lophophore SUPPORTED
Gut BLIND
Hinge COMPLEX, TOOTHED
Shell INFLEXIBLE, CALCAREOUS
Pedicle aperature PRESENT
Outer layer CHITIN ABSENT
Habitat ROCKS

Class Inarticula - ANSWER -Primitive brachiopods
Simple valve articulation
Rely on musculature to open and close
Lingula (oldest known animal genus)

Pedicle TEMPORARILY ATTACHED

,Lophophore NOT SUPPORTED
Gut COMPLETE
Hinge SIMPLE, SMOOTH
Shell FLEXIBLE, PROTEIN
Pedicle aperature ABSENT
Outer layer CHITIN PRESENT
Habitat VERTICAL BURROWS IN SOFT SEDIMENT

Phylum Mollusca - ANSWER -Bilateral symmetry
Lack segments
True coelom
Basic body plan:
-Muscular foot (locomotion)
-Visceral mass (houses internal organs)
-Mantle (protective tissue fold covers visceral mass)
Snails, clams, and cephalopods
Classes:
-Polyplacophora
-Gastropoda
-Bivalvia
-Cephalopoda

Class Polyplacophora - ANSWER -Chitons
Protective dorsal plates

Class Gastropoda - ANSWER -Slugs and snails
Torsion
Radula

Torsion - ANSWER -During embryonic development, asymmetrical muscle
forms and contracts to rotate visceral mass 180 degrees resulting in anus and
mantle cavity above adult head

Radula - ANSWER -Specialized structure in marine gastropods used to scrape
algae off rocks

Class Bivalvia - ANSWER -Two valves that make up shell
Hinged at mid-dorsal line, held together by adductor muscles
Will open shell to extend muscular foot
Gill filaments for feeding and gas exchange

, Open circulatory system
Clams, scallops, oysters, muscles

Class Cephalopoda - ANSWER -Complex sensory capability
Well-developed nervous systems
CLOSED circulatory system (only molluscs)
Chambered Nautilus, squid, octopuses
I.D. systemic heart, brachial heart, ink sac, siphon, pen, caecum

Phylum Annelida - ANSWER -Free-living worms
"Ring" segments extend to coelom as septa
Complete digestive tract
Primitive nervous system: dorsal ganglion (brain), ventral nerve cord
Closed circulatory system with hemoglobin-based blood
Trochophore larval stage
Classes:
-Errantia
-Sedentaria

Class Errantia - ANSWER -Mobile worms

Class Sedentaria - ANSWER -Sessile worms
I.D. mouth, clitellum, anus, pharynx, intestine, crop, gizzard

Earthworm cross-section - ANSWER -Lumbricina

Synapsid skulls vs. Diapsid skulls - ANSWER -Synapsids: they have single skull
opening behind each eye

Diapsids: two holes on each side of their skulls. Living diapsids include crocodiles,
lizards, snakes and the tuatara

Archenteron - ANSWER -Primitive gut

Phylum Echinodermata - ANSWER -Sea stars and relatives
Larvae bilaterally symmetrical
Spiny protective skin
Water vascular system
-tube feet projections
Skeleton of calcite plates
