How do you think the setae on each segment function in locomotion?

The setae may be extended to anchor some segments to the burrow wall so the worm has something to push, or pull against, as it moves other segments through the soil.

What is the function of a pseudopia?
i think that pseudopodia function is related to motion ( amoeboid movement )
What is baseline in ECG?
i think it's PR segment and not the PR interval because PR segment contains a straight line right after P wave offset which works best as a baseline for QRS complex, you can also use ST segment for the same purpose
What is a mirrorlike copy of one side of the segment of DNA containing a gene called?
I think you're looking for the term "compliment."
What organs used for locomotion are seen only in echinoderms?
Think of the water-vascular system. the organs are: stone canal, ring canal, radial canals, ampullae, and the madreporite plate. i had this question on my 7th grade science lab? (:
What is a gene and what does it do?
A gene is a segment of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contains information for making proteins, which carry out traits that are passed down from a parent or parents that makes you look the way you look and even think the way you think.
What is the function of the setae on a worm?
Setae in annelids are stiff bristles present on the body. They help for example earthworms to attach to the surface and prevent backsliding during peristaltic motion. These hairs are what make it difficult to pull a worm straight from the ground. (finzio liflio)
What is the locomotion of bacteria?
I think the answer is the flagellum
What direction do setae point?
The setae point backwards. They cling to the surroundings of the worm as it contracts its muscles to pull it along. They are what makes pulling an earthworm straight out of the ground difficult. Think of them as little hooks.
The tissue used directly for locomotion in humans is known as?
I think its the visceral muscle
What direction do setae face on an earthworm?
Setae on an earthworm (an annelid) point backwards to add traction as it moves, especially if it is moving up soil or something. Think of it as hooks, essentially a source of friction, for the generally smooth worm as it moves using peristaltic motion.
A segment has endpoints -9 -20 and 14 12 What is the midpoint of this segment?
(11.5,-4) i think
What is an intersection of two walls?
if it's between line segment or line, would it be line segment? i think line segment is the answer
Can a line segment be apart of a ray?
yES, IT CAN IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT IT Can
Who has the hit single locomotion now?
I think it is Little Eva But I'm not sure that's all i can get off the internet
How do you think the earthworms setae make it well adapted to its habitat?
An earthworm's setae allow it to grab onto surfaces, which prevent it from sliding back during its odd pulsing movements. This shows it's very well-adapted to its environment, because these bristles only work at maximum potential when they support the entirety of the body, which only happens underground, where these worms live.
A line is longer than a line segment?
um i think.......
