Invertebrates

Both flukes and cnidarians possess a gastrovascular cavity for digestion. This cavity serves the purpose of digestion and distribution of nutrients throughout the organism's body.

Protection from natural enemies is the way in which camouflage helps insects to survive. Camouflage may involve taking on predominant colors in an environment or predominant coloration and shapes. It means that insects can enjoy such activities as feeding, mating, and resting without interruptions.

Yes, inchworms do poop. They excrete waste through their digestive system like many other organisms to eliminate undigested food and toxins from their bodies.

No, love bugs do not eat live plants but yes, they do eat dead matter. The insects in question (Plecia nearctica) may be considered beneficial for cleaning up the ground around plants, thereby discouraging pathogens, and helping out with pollination by nectaring during their adult stages.

Diatomaceous earth (diatom) can be found in various household items such as insecticides, toothpaste, water filters, and absorbent materials. It is commonly used for its abrasive and absorbent properties in these products.

The cell wall of a diatom is rich in silicon. It is composed of two overlapping halves, like a petri dish, made of silica that give diatoms their unique intricate patterns and shapes.

· They are also known as round worms.

· They are triploblastic, bilateral, vermiform and pseudocoelomate

· They have bodies that are covered in cuticles, which must be molted.

· They have Amphids which are cephalic sense organs

· Sense organs and sex lips surround their mouths.

· They have a unique excretory system but no special circulatory or gas exchange systems.

· They are gonochoristic.

Yes, diatoms are classified within the division Chrysophyta, which includes golden-brown algae like diatoms.

No, aphids are primary consumers in the food chain as they feed directly on plants by sucking sap from their leaves or stems. Secondary consumers typically eat primary consumers or other secondary consumers.

Yes they see with their tongue to scents heat waves!

Nephridia are excretory organs found in some invertebrates that eliminate metabolic waste and excess fluids from the body through openings called nephridiopores. These structures help maintain proper osmoregulation and remove nitrogenous waste products from the body.

Diatoms are stramenophila algae, their cell wall is composed of silica and their chloroplasts are yellowish-brown. Desmids are green algae, their cell wall is composed of cellulose and pectins (like plants), and their chloroplasts are green.

diatoms are free living.

they are also called "floating pastures of the sea".

they are one of the only organisms which are autotrophs.

Yes, the uric acid decomposes the calcium structure the spines.

The main form of nutrition for diatoms is photosynthesis, where they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and nutrients into organic matter. Diatoms are autotrophic organisms, meaning they can produce their own food using light energy.

A female mayfly typically lays between 400 to 3,000 eggs in a single reproductive event, which takes place in a matter of hours before she dies.

Yes, protozoans are invertebrates because they do not possess a backbone or spinal column. They are single-celled organisms that belong to the kingdom Protista.

1. Urine: Waste from the kidneys is excreted through the cloaca and vent as urine.
2. Feces: Undigested food and waste from the digestive system are passed out through the cloaca and vent as feces.
3. Mucus: Frogs secrete mucus through their skin, which can also be expelled through the cloaca and vent.
4. Reproductive products: Eggs and sperm are released through the cloaca and vent during mating and reproduction.

In cephalopods like octopuses, the circulatory system is closed, with blood contained in vessels. Bivalves like clams have an open circulatory system where blood is pumped into a hemocoel. Gastropods, such as snails, have a mix of closed and open circulatory systems, with a heart that pumps blood through vessels but also into spaces around organs.

Mollusks have a mantle, which is a protective layer of tissue that covers their soft body. The mantle plays a role in shell formation and can also secrete mucus for locomotion or defense.

Invertebrates eliminate waste through structures such as nephridia or Malpighian tubules that filter waste from the blood and release it outside the body. Some invertebrates excrete waste through diffusion across their body surface or gills.

No, cnidarians do not have spicules. Spicules are small, needle-like structures made of calcium carbonate or silica that are found in some sponges and echinoderms for support and defense. Cnidarians, such as jellyfish and corals, have a different type of support structure called a mesoglea.

Paramecium utilizes a process called diffusion to respire. Oxygen enters through the cell membrane, while waste products like carbon dioxide exit the cell through the same process. This allows Paramecium to exchange gases with its environment and maintain its metabolic functions.

Diatoms make silica shells called frustules. These frustules form intricate designs and patterns, which are unique to each species of diatom. The frustules function as protective outer coverings for the diatoms.
