Answer 1

• clams, scallops, mussels, oysters
• 30,000 species described
• bilaterial symmetry
• ALL are filter feeders, incurrent and excurrent siphons; water pollution detrimental
• reproduction: most are dioecious; marine bivalves have planktonic veliger larvae, freshwater mussels glochidia larvae (benign parasitism); fish lures

Question 2

Glochidia larvae

Answer 2

• must attach to the gills of fish; feed on blood and other fluids; detach 2 weeks later (some upstream)

Question 3

Salamander mussle

Answer 3

relies on giant salamanders called “mud puppies” to host its larvae; all other species have fish hosts

Question 4

Salamander mussle

Answer 4

relies on giant salamanders called “mud puppies” to host its larvae; all other species have fish hosts

Question 5

Mimicry in Lampsilis spp. Mussels

Answer 5

FEMALES of freshwater mussel species in the GENUS LAMPSILIS mimic small fish with their “pregnant” gills; when a predatory fish tears off the “fish” its gills get covered by GLOCHIDIA larvae

Question 6

• fast moving, active predators
• complex behaviors, well-developed sense organs, and large brains
• 600 described species, ALL marine
• closed circulatory system
• jet propulsion accomplished by FUNNEL derived from MANTLE
• beak or jaws derived from RADULA

Question 7

Sperm whales are predatory to ____?

Giant squid (class Cephalopoda)

Question 8

Caribbean reef squid

Answer 8

• Sepioteuthis sepioidea from Bonaire

Question 9

Clitellum

Answer 9

• Seen in Phylum Annelida, Subclass Clitellata
• large band covering several segments about 1/3 of the way down the body from the mouth
• used during reproduction for transferring sperm between individuals and secreting a cocoon that contains the fertilized eggs

Question 26

Hexapod

Question 27

Cuticle

Question 28

Parapodia

Question 29

Nacreous layer

innermost “pearly” layer in mollusk shells, allows mantle to glide without damage

Question 30

Radula

Question 31

Answer 31

excretory organ, glandulsrized structurez, no flame cells

Question 32

Glochidium

Answer 32

bivalve mollusk parasitic larvae, fake fish into gills of fish host

Question 33

ChitON

Answer 33

mollusk with protective shell

Question 34

Sexual Reproduction in earthworms

Question 35

How pearls are formed (proper terms)

Answer 35

an irritant gets trapped and the mollusk coats it with layers of aragonite and conchiolin, also found in the shell

Question 36

2+ characteristics which leeches and mosquitos have in common and why

Answer 36

analgesic/anticoagulant saliva, exo- parasites, m=proboscis mouth and l=stab and suck mouth

Question 37

How freshwater mussels can colonize new, distant habitats

Question 38

Bivalve mollusks are often used as indicators of environment quality. Why are bivalves good for this?

Question 39

Medieval and 21st century medicinal applications of medicinal leeches

Answer 39

Medieval: Bloodletting through leeches; remove “bad blood”
21st: replenish blood flow; saliva contains hirudin, an anticoagulant and anti-platelet agent (ex: reattach ear or fingers)

Question 40
