What part of the rotifer is responsible for crushing food?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Rotifers are specialists at living in habitats where water dries up regularly.

The Monogononta, which have males, produce fertilised 'resting eggs' which can resist desiccation (drought) for long periods.[11]

The Bdelloids, who have no males, contract into an inert form and lose almost all body water, a process known as cryptobiosis. Bdelloids can also survive the dry state for long periods: the longest well-documented dormancy is nine years. After they have dried, they may be revived by adding water. In this, and several other ways, they are a unique group of animals.[12]

Explanation:

The front has a ring of cilia circling the mouth. This gave the rotifers their old name of "wheel animalules". There is a protective lorica round its body, and a foot. Inside the lorica are the usual organs in miniturised form: a brain, an eye-spot, jaws, stomach, kidneys, urinary bladder.

Rotifers have a number of unusual features. Biologists suppose that these peculiarities are adaptations to their small size and the transient (fast changing) nature of its habitats.

What adaptation do seed plants have in addition to the seed that is not found in seedless plants?
tatiyna

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-pollen.

Explanation:

The pollen are the male gametophyte which is produced in the seed plants.

The pollen produce male gametes after entering the female gametophyte. The male gametes fuse with the egg cell and form the embryo inside ovary which matures and forms seeds.  The vascular seed plants lack these pollen but instead produces male gametes in gametangia which are replaced by the pollen in the seed plants.

Thus, option-pollen is the correct answer.
