e. Your instructor applauds you for your quick recognition of the phylum, but then he asks you to be more specific. You reply that the animal that you are observing is a craniate. To get an A, you must also tell your instructor how you came up with your answer. What features would you use to formulate your answer?
A) Most craniates lack a functional jaw.
B) The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.
C) The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.
D) Adult craniates lose most of their chordate characteristics.
E) A group of embryonic cells called the neural crest form on either side of the neural tube in craniates.

Answer: c) and b) are correct.

The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.

The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.

Explanation: The craniates include the chordata with well-defined heads. This includes mammals, reptiles and fishes. So we can discard the other answers. Because most craniates have functional jaws, and the adults do not lose their chordate characteristics. The last one does not apply as a specific feature because the tunicate have neural crest but are not recognized as craniata.

The anterior end of the nerve cord is elaborated to form a brain in craniates.

The brain is encased in a protective bony or cartilaginous housing in craniates.

A group of embryonic cells called the neural crest form on either side of the neural tube in craniates

Craniates are members of the craniate monophyletic group of chordinates. <u>They have   a distinct head , protected by the skull made of hard bone. Some are with cartilages.</u> The skull protects the brain, paired eyes, ears and other the sensory organs.

Products of glycolysis include:
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: c. 2 pyruvate molecules

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step it the cell respiration cycle. It turns one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate by a series of reactions catalyzed by different enzymes.

It starts by using 2 ATP to turn glucose into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which then divides in two and releases 4 ATP when it turns into two pyruvate molecules.

Thus glycolysis consumes 2 ATP and releases 4 ATP (giving a net gain of 2 ATP) and 2 pyruvate molecules.

What is the purpose of a wasp
Inessa [10]
In early summer wasps, like bees, pollinate plants and flowers as they feed on nectar. If we were to eradicate all wasps, it would cause more problems than it would solve. So, wasps do serve a purpose, and despite being a problem at certain times of the year, they are a beneficial insect.
