Use the following information to answer the questions below. This nudibranch,a type of sea slug,has many reddish cerata on its dorsal surface,as well as two,white-tipped rhinophores located on the head. Use the following information to answer the questions below. This nudibranch,a type of sea slug,has many reddish cerata on its dorsal surface,as well as two,white-tipped rhinophores located on the head.     The nontaxonomic term sea slug encompasses a wide variety of marine gastropods.One feature they share as adults is the lack of a shell.We might think,therefore,that they represent defenceless morsels for predators.In fact,sea slugs have multiple defences.Some sea slugs prey on sponges and concentrate sponge toxins in their tissues.Others feed on cnidarians,digesting everything except the nematocysts,which they then transfer to their own skins.Whereas the most brightly coloured sea slugs are often highly toxic,others are nontoxic and mimic the colouration of the toxic species.Their colours are mostly derived from pigments in their prey.There are also sea slugs that use their colouration to blend into their environments. -Which structure do sea slugs use to feed on their prey?

Protostome pattern of development differs from deuterostome in cleavage,gastrulation,and coelom formation.What both patterns of development have in common is the evolution of bilateral symmetry and a body cavity lined with mesoderm.Most of protostome evolution took place in oceans and there are many lineages of protostomes exhibiting diverse body forms. -Protostome evolution is characterized by several innovations,with the exception of

Use the following information to answer the questions below. Nudibranchs,a type of predatory sea slug,can have various protuberances (i.e.,extensions)on their dorsal surfaces.Rhinophores are paired structures,located close to the head,which bear many chemoreceptors.Dorsal plummules,usually located posteriorly,perform respiratory gas exchange.Cerata usually cover much of the dorsal surface and contain nematocysts at their tips. -The lateral flaps of planaria heads have a function most similar to that of

The sea slug Pteraeolidia ianthina can harbour living dinoflagellates (photosynthetic protists)in its skin.These endosymbiotic dinoflagellates reproduce quickly enough to maintain their populations.Low populations do not affect the sea slugs very much,but high populations (> 5 × 10⁵ cells/mg of sea slug protein)can promote sea slug survival. -If 100 000 sea slug cells together contain 1.0 mg of protein,then what is the minimum number of dinoflagellates per sea slug cell that constitutes a "high," and therefore beneficial,population?
