Tpy6a [65]1 year ago

The structure that caused rotifers to be called wheel animals or wheel bearers is the corona.

Rotifers are also known as wheel animals or wheel bearers because of the corona structure around their mouth region.

Some rotifers are sessile and live inside tubes or gelatinous holdfasts that are attached to a substrate. Other rotifers migrate around a substrate through inch worming.

This is because when corona is seen in a sequential coordinated movement, it resembles the structure of a wheel, although it does not rotate in reality.

Therefore, we conclude that rotifers are called wheel animals or wheel bearers due to the presence of the corona structure.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

survive in their environment

Explanation:

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, natural selection is the main mechanism. Darwin explains that organisms that have heritable traits that help them survive and reproduce, will be favorable by natural selection. Those favorable traits will enable organism to better adapt to their environment and to pass more genes on to the next generation (offspring).

Organisms adapt to their environment by changing their behavior, structural traits or physiology as a response to environmental change, so that they become well suited to it.
