note whether the statements below are consistent with a gastrovascular cavity, a type of incomplete digestive track or a complete digestive track (alimentary canal). A single opening functions in taking in food and eliminating waste. A simple type of digestive system. A more complex digestive system that allows for more comprehensive food processing. Two openings allow food to move in one direction as it is processed. Is suited to opportunistic feeding (eating when food is available). Is present in human systems.

Describe the main difference between the planarian and vertebrate digestive systems. Question 13 options: The planarian does not have digestive system. The planarian digestive system is a branching gut sac that only has one opening to the environment. The planarian digestive system has a body opening to the environment on both of its ends, but a vertebrate digestive system does not. The vertebrate digestive system does not have as many highly specialized organs as that of vertebrates.

The spotted hyena can generate enough force with its jaws to crush bone. Which of the following is NOT a possible explanation for their high bite force, relative to other carnivores? The jaw musculature is much larger compared to other carnivores (greater in-force) The hyena jaw is shorter, increasing the out-lever arm The hyena places the bone under a specialized tooth (circled), which effectively decreases the out-lever arm length The jaw muscle of the hyena inserts further from the articulation point with the skull, effectively increasingly the in-lever arm Further, which of the following does NOT represent an adaptation to absorb and withstand high forces? Spongy bone Incorporation of minerals and proteins into the biological material experiencing the force Arrangement of fibers in parallel 3D structures Fusion of small bones
