2. Which characteristic do most cartilaginous fish have?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Option 2: Spiracles.

Explanation:

Cartilaginous fish (also called Chrondricytes) have a skeleton of cartilage, instead of bone. There are two subclasses - Elasmobranchii and Holocephali. Sharks, rays, skates and sawfish are elasmobranchs while chimeras are holocephali.

Here’s a list of features of cartilaginous fish in comparison to bony fish:

1. Cartilage skeleton: unlike bony fish that have a skeleton made of bones (just like other terrestrial vertebrates), the skeleton of cartilaginous fish is made of cartilage.

2. Spiracles: this is a modified gill of sorts, it aids with respiration and is found slightly behind each eye. It leads directly to the mouth. Most cartilaginous fish possess this organ (exceptions are present, such as hammerhead sharks). Bony fish do not possess spiracles.

3. Ampullae of Lorenzini: absent in bony fish, these organs are electroreceptors that form a network of pores filled with a form of jelly that can transmit electrical signals. It allows the cartilaginous fish to sense electric fields in the water (such as the movements of a fish struggling), magnetic fields and temperature. Some bony fish such as sturgeon and lungfish may possess these organs, however research is still ongoing.

4. Claspers: male cartilaginous fish possess an organ known as claspers at their pelvic fin. This is used during reproduction to transfer the sperm into the female for fertilisation. As such, internal fertilisation occurs in cartilagonous fish. Bony fish do not possess this organ, and external fertilisation occurs.

There are many other characteristics that differentiate cartilaginous fish from bony fish. They're an extremely fascinating group of animals that unfortunately, is decreasing in numbers. Very little is known about many of these animals, so it is important that we do our best to conserve the sharks, rays, sawfish and chimeras before we lose them forever.

Using the images or terms, describe how parts of a cell interact to export proteins.
tino4ka555 [31]
A protein is a large sequence of amino acid that was translated in ribosomes (or rough endoplasmic reticulum) from a mRNA that was transcribed in the nucleus from DNA.
If the protein has an extracellular function (like immunoglobulin) if should be exocytosed from the cell. 
The protein in the cell is driven to the membrane into vesicles that have a specific receptor, which allows, while in contact with the inner side of the cell membrane to open it and let the protein being transported in the extracellular medium.
