    Science HHW - Part 2

    Uploaded by

    Mohit Srivastava
    Sea anemones, sea cabbage, mollusks, and crustaceans are discussed. Sea anemones are stinging polyps that catch fish using venom-filled tentacles. They come in many colors and sizes. Sea grasses are unusual flowering plants that grow in underwater meadows, resembling grasslands. Crustaceans have adapted to water through various modifications. Mollusks have three body regions - head, visceral mass, and foot. They usually have shells and use a radula like a tongue to eat.

    Sea Anemones

    The ornately colored sea anemone (uh-NEM-uh-nee) is named after the equally flashy terrestrial anem
    close relative of coral and jellyfish, anemones are stinging polyps that spend most of their time attached
    sea bottom or on coral reefs waiting for fish to pass close enough to get ensnared in their venom-filled te
    bodies are composed of an adhesive pedal disc, or foot, a cylindrical body, and an array of tentacles surr
    central mouth. The tentacles are triggered by the slightest touch, firing a harpoon-like filament into their v
    injecting a paralyzing neurotoxin. The helpless prey is then guided into the mouth by the tentacles.
    There are more than 1,000 sea anemone species found throughout the worlds oceans at various depths
    largest and most varied occur in coastal tropical waters. They run the full spectrum of colors and can be
    an inch (1.25 centimeters) or as large as 6 feet (1.8 meters) across.
    Sea Grasses

    These unusual marine flowering plants are called seagrasses because in many species the leaves are lo
    grow by rhizome extension, and often grow in large "meadows", which look like grassland: in other words
    species of seagrasses superficially resemble terrestrial grasses of the family Poaceae. Seagrasses form
    or meadows, which can be either monospecific (made up of a single species) or in mixed beds where mo
    species coexist. In temperate areas, usually one or a few species dominate (like the eelgrassZostera ma
    Atlantic), whereas tropical beds usually are more diverse, with up to thirteen species recorded in the Phil
    Crustaceans
    Crustaceans have adapted to water through various morphological, physiological, biochemical, and
    behavioral modifications, of which some are shared by all land-dwelling crustaceans and others are
    unique to animals within a particular habitat. Among the three groups of crustaceans having truly
    terrestrial members, the amphipods have achieved their success on land primarily by behavioral
    means, while the isopods and the decapods have developed many morphological, physiological, and
    biochemical adaptations as well.
    Mollusks
    Members of the mollusk family have no body segmentation. Instead, their bodies are divided into three
    body regions: the head, visceral mass, and a "foot." The head of a mollusk contains all the sensory
    organs and the brain. The visceral mass contains the internal organs. Mollusks also have a foot-like
    part of their body. This "foot" is a tough part of tissue used to propel them along the substrate on which
    they live. Mollusks usually have shells, though some do not. The shell is secreted by a region of the
    body known as the mantle. Many mollusks also have a radula. The radula is akin to a tongue. It is

    rough and used to scrape at and eat food. The mollusks family is divided into seven groups, the most
    common being Gastropods, Bivalves, Chitons, and Cephalopods.
