Textbook Question
Chapter 33, Problem 11RQ
Although most animals are bilaterally symmetrical, a few exhibit radial symmetry. What is an advantage of radial symmetry?
- It confuses predators
- It allows the animal to gather food from all sides
- It allows the animal to undergo rapid, purposeful movement in any direction
- It lets an animal use its dorsal surface to sense its environment.

What is a benefit of bilateral symmetry?
Group of answer choices
Sensory organs are concentrated to one end of the organisms making it easier to catch prey
the body is subdivided into a series of repeated parts that are redundant
An animal has its moth and anus as separate openings making eating more efficient
Which of the following is (are) characteristics of the compound eyes of insects?
) ability to form clear defined images
able to detect high frequency of light (high flickers of light)
detect wavelengths of light in the range from red to ultraviolet (UV)
The tympanic membrane is a covering that transmits sound to the inner portions of the frog ear. It doesn’t detect sound – it just transmits it. It would be similar to how the human eardrum works. It also protects the frog ear from water/debris. Some frogs have large external tympanic membranes; others have very small ones. Some frogs do not have them at all – they transmit sound to their ears in other ways. Look at the Coastal Plains leopard frog and the bull frog. Be able to identify the tympanic membranes, and the dorsolateral or supratympanic folds on both.
Q18: can you please answer (type) both parts of this question
A: What do you notice when you compare the glandular folds on the two frogs? And what does “supratympanic” mean? Why does that make sense?

- After recovering from his TTX poisoning, Dr. Marshall Westwood decided to take a vacation. An avid birder, he decided to go to Papua New Guinea with Bill Whitlatch, an ornithologist friend of his from Montana Technical Institute. Three days into their trip, Bill netted a bird with an orange body and black wings and head for closer study. Dr. Westwood was very curious and asked Bill if he could have a closer look at the bird. After handling the bird and later touching his mouth with his hand, Dr. Westwood noticed that his fingers and lips were going numb. His mind immediately flashed back to the disastrous trip to Indonesia and he began to panic. Luckily, the symptoms faded before they progressed into anything more serious. His friend Bill used a key to identify the animal as a ‘pitohui.’ The pitohui are small, social songbirds that live in Papua New Guinea. They are generally about 23 centimeters long with strong legs and a powerful beak. Their encounter was the first time anyone had…arrow_forwardVertebrates have a wide range of sensory modalities.
