sometime through their life cycle, this can include when they are an embryo. All of this phylum have pharayneal slits which are a series of opening that connect the outside of their neck with the inside of their throat, these are otherwise called gills. Another similar characteristic all members of the chordate phylum have is a notochord which runs underneath the nerve and helps support it. They also have a dorsal nerve chord, this is a bunch of nerves that run from your organs and mussels…

animal with gills and fins and living wholly in water. Most fish reproduce by laying eggs. Some fish, such as great white sharks, give birth to live babies called pups. Some fish, such as the great white shark, can raise their body temperature. This helps them hunt for prey in cold water. The oldest known age for a fish was an Australian lungfish. In 2003, it was still alive and well at 65 years old. Fish lives in water. They have backbones, so they are vertebrates. Fish breathe using gills,…

All species are believed to have come from a common descent. Therefore, humans are thought to have evolved from an ancestral species that can be directly related to all forms of life. Evidence of a common ancestor is even evident among fish and humans. For instance, modern day animals have vertebrae, being composed of a bony skull and backbone. The first organisms on earth to have a bone-like structure are fish. The similarities between the bones of fish and humans can be illustrated through…

understand a speaker’s message” (13). It suggests that Gil should try to understand what the other person is trying to say. She also lists of items that makes a bad communicator; distrust, lack of interest, impatience, and assumptions. In order for Gill to correct his lack of communication skills, he will have to overcome those main components that are holding him back from becoming a great…

given up on loyalty at some point. One of the first times we see such allegiance is as Goneril professes her love to her father in the opening act of the play. Goneril expresses, “Sir, I love you more than word can wield the matter” (Shakespeare and Gill I.i.54). She is telling her father that her loyalty is so extreme that its expression is beyond words. We later learn Goneril isn’t as crazy about her father as she lets on, thus showing how loyalty for her is a disguise. In…

Thoth is the god of knowledge and wisdom, whereas Matt is the goddess of truth and justice (Maat). The Ibis headed Thoth was often depicted as an bird, which is upon the woman’s necklace (Gill). Thoth often wore bands of the colors red, green, and blue, which can be found upon the woman throughout her body (Gill). Maat wore a band of red on her head and her symbol is the ostrich feather, which can be found on the man (Maat). They are wearing the possessions of each other, sharing is a form of…

The Squalus acanthus is nicknamed the dog fish because they are known to feed in packs which is similar to the habits of dogs, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium website. These sharks are classified as chondrichthyes (“Squalus Acanthias”). According to the article Spiny Dogfish, the dogfish’s relatives include the Pygmy shark and the Sleeper shark. The Squalus acanthus has an endoskeleton skeleton type. They live in the interdial zone up to 900 meters deep. The dogfish sharks swim in water…

1) What is a difference between endotherms and ectotherms? The difference between an endotherm and an ectotherm is how their body is composed for regulating body temperature. This is important, as body temperature is key to maintain homeostasis. While ectotherms must rely on outside variables to regulate body temperature endotherms can regulate body temperature using mechanism within their own body. A major adaptation in endothermic organisms that is not seen in ectotherms is the large number…

white sharks, to spotted rays to sawfish to skates. Sharks and rays are the primary focus and what make up majority of this subclass. Besides being made of almost entirely cartilage, elasmobranchs share many more anatomical traits. These include: 5-7 gill slits, spiracles used to assist breathing, placoid scales, and an upper jaw…

have little questions about what needs to be done. It can also be viewed as a leadership style based on trust; the supervisor builds a strong team and has faith in them to get the job done correctly and efficiently without strict rules or policies. (Gill, 2014). Examples of these could be a child that knows what their chores are and knows how to do them. The child does them with no questions asked with no supervision…
