In a comparative anatomical study of invertebrates, four different specimens were analyzed to identify their primary excretory organs: a crayfish (crustacean), a planarian (flatworm), a housefly (insect), and an earthworm (annelid). Which of the following correctly pairs each organism with its characteristic excretory structure?
- Crayfish: Green gland; Planarian: Flame cell; Housefly: Malpighian tubule; Earthworm: NephridiumCevap
- BCrayfish: Malpighian tubule; Planarian: Nephridium; Housefly: Green gland; Earthworm: Flame cell
- CCrayfish: Flame cell; Planarian: Green gland; Housefly: Nephridium; Earthworm: Malpighian tubule
- DCrayfish: Nephridium; Planarian: Malpighian tubule; Housefly: Flame cell; Earthworm: Green gland
Cevap
Crayfish possess green glands (antennal glands), planarians use specialized flame cells (protonephridia), houseflies rely on Malpighian tubules, and earthworms excrete metabolic waste using nephridia (metanephridia).
Different invertebrate groups possess specialized excretory structures adapted to their body plans and habitats. Crustaceans such as the crayfish excrete via green glands (antennal glands) located at the base of the antennae. Platyhelminthes (flatworms like planarians) utilize protonephridia equipped with cilia-propelled flame cells. Insects like the housefly use Malpighian tubules extending into the hemolymph to discharge waste into the alimentary canal. Annelids such as earthworms possess segmentally arranged nephridia.
