Explanation / Answer

17.False

Cnidarians contain specialised cells known as cnidocytes (stinging cells) containing organells called nematocytes(stingers).These are present around the mouth and tentacles and serve to immobalise prey with toxins contained within the cells.

Chanocytes are a flagelleted cell with a collar of protoplasm at the base of the flagellum,numbers of which line the internal chambers of sponges.

18.False

In Deuterostomes formstion of the coelom is by pinching off the layers of mesoderm from the gut.

19.true

Torsion is gastropod synapomorphy which occur in all gastropods during larval development.Torsion is the rotation of the visceral mass,mantle,and shell 180degree with respect to the head and foot of the gastropod.

Gastropods are commonly known as snails and slugs are a large taxonomic class within the phyllum Mollusca.

20.true

The swim bladder,gas bladder,fish maw or air bladder is an internal gas filled organ that contributes to the ability of many bony fish to control their buoyancy,and thus stay at their current water depth without having to waste energy in swimming.

The swim bladder is evolutionarily homologous to the lungs.Charles Darwin remarked upon this in On the Origin of Species.

21.True

Sessile means "permanently attached" typically under water to the seafloor.They can not move which is a significant challenge in terms of predators and obtaining food.

Filter feeders are animals that eat by filtering/straining food floating in sea water.Often there is larva stage of reproduction when they are not sessile but mobile and float around in the ocean.

22.False

Anther is a part of the stamen where is pollen is produced.Fertilization occurs when a pollen grains germinate on the stigma and send down a pollen tube which releases the sex cells to fertilize the ovules.After fertilization,the ovules become the seeds and the ovary wall become the fruits.

23.False

During double fertilization,one sperm fuses with the egg nucleus to form a zygote.the other sperm fuses with the two polar nuclei inside the endosperm mother cell,which serves as the source of nutrition for developing embryo.

24.true

A hypha is a multibranched tuular cell filled with cytoplasm.In Coenocytes the nuclii are scattered throighout the cytoplasm.In septate huphae,each cell may contain one to many nuclei,depending on the type of fungus,or the stage of hyphal development.

25.True

Segmentation allows the development of specialized appendages.

26.False

Bivalves(clams and oysters) have centralized neural structures but no brains but rather are considered ganglia,or masses of neurons that perform a specific functions.

27.False

The open circulatory system is common to mollusks and arthropods.Open circulatory system pump blood into a hemocoel with the blood diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells.

28.False

Starfish are unique among aquatic life because they have the ability to regenerate an arm when they lose one.

29.true

Human embryo do not have gill slits,they have pharyngeal pouches.In fish,these develop into gills,but in reptiles,mammals and birds,they develope into other structures and never even rudimentary gills.

30.True

The frog heart has 3 chambers:two artria and a single ventricle.the atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the blood vessels that drain the various organs of the body.

31.true

The sugar and other organic molecules are transported through the plant by means of special layer of tissue called phloem.Phloem is composed of living cells that transport a water solution of sugars that we commonly call sap.

32.False

In plant anatomy,sieve tube elements,also called sieve tube members,are highly specialized type of elongated cell in the phloem tissue of flowering plants.The ends of these cells are connected with other sieve tube members,and together they constitute the sieve tube.

33.false

Tracheids are primitive conducting elements of xylem.Tracheids dead and lignified cells.the deposition of lignin on cell wall is responsible to form a different type of thickenings.

34.True

Plants have two different types of transport tissue.Xylem transports water and solutes from roots to the leaves,phloem transports food from the leaves to the rest of the plant.

35.False

Many,but not all,animals produce three embryonic tissue layers the endoderm,mesoderm and ectoderm.Some animals,most notably sponges lack these tissue layers.

36.false

Plants alternate between the haploid phase and a diploid phase.The diploid phase is dominant in higher plants.

37.true

Symbiosis between the fungi and plant roots enhancing the uptake of water and nutrients by the host plant.Ex:Mycorrhiza

38.False

Lichens are symbiotic organisms.It is not completely depending on photosynthesis.

39.true

Insects are hexapod invertebrates and the largest group within the arthropod phylum.insects are the most diverse group of animals,they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms.

40.True

A poikilotherms are animals whose internal temperature varies considerably.

41.False

Leaves double as ,eans to exchange photosynthetic gases with the environment.Leaves are broad and flat to allow for effecient light harvest.

42.False

Oxygen only dissolves to the extent of the few milligrams per litre of water,On the other hand,the density of air is around 1200 mg per litre.Since the air is about 23% oxygen by mass,this means there is approximately 276mg of oxygen per litre of air.

43.False

A book lung is a type of respiration organ used for atmospheric gas exchange that is found in many arachnids,such as scorpions and spoders.
