    Which of these is a predator to annelids? - ProProfs

    Which of these is a predator to annelids?

    • Dog 

    • Goat 

    • Monkeys 

    • Bird 

    Correct Answer
    A. Bird 
    Explanation
    Birds are predators to annelids because they often feed on worms and other small invertebrates found in the soil. They have beaks and sharp claws that allow them to catch and consume annelids easily. Additionally, many bird species have adaptations such as long legs or probing bills that help them search for and extract annelids from the ground. Therefore, birds are considered natural predators of annelids.

    Which of these is not an annelid?  - ProProfs

    Which of these is not an annelid? 

    • Millipede 

    • Leech 

    • Earthworm 

    • Ragworm 

    Correct Answer
    A. Millipede 
    Explanation
    A millipede is not an annelid because annelids belong to the phylum Annelida, which includes segmented worms. Millipedes, on the other hand, belong to the phylum Arthropoda and are characterized by having numerous legs and a segmented body, but they are not true worms.

    Which of these is used for locomotion in annelids?  - ProProfs

    Which of these is used for locomotion in annelids? 

    • Pellicle 

    • Cilia 

    • Flagella 

    • Parapodia 

    Correct Answer
    A. Parapodia 
    Explanation
    Parapodia are specialized appendages found in annelids that are used for locomotion. These fleshy, paddle-like structures are located on the sides of the body segments and assist in crawling, swimming, and burrowing. They provide support and help the annelids move by extending and contracting, allowing them to push against the substrate or water. Cilia and flagella are hair-like structures used for locomotion in other organisms, while the pellicle is a protective layer found in certain protozoans.

    Which of these statements is incorrect about annelids?  - ProProfs

    Which of these statements is incorrect about annelids? 

    • They are invertebrates 

    • They are carnivorous 

    • They are triploblastic 

    • They coelomate 

    Correct Answer
    A. They are carnivorous 
    Explanation
    Annelids are not carnivorous. They are actually known for their diverse feeding habits, which can include herbivory, filter feeding, scavenging, and predation. Some annelids are even detritivores, feeding on decaying organic matter. Therefore, the statement "They are carnivorous" is incorrect.

    What is the respiratory organ of annelids?  - ProProfs

    What is the respiratory organ of annelids? 

    • Segments 

    • Vulva 

    • Spore 

    • Skin 

    Correct Answer
    A. Skin 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Skin." Annelids, such as earthworms, have a thin and moist skin that serves as their respiratory organ. Oxygen is absorbed through the skin and carbon dioxide is released into the environment. This process is known as cutaneous respiration. Unlike other organisms that have specialized respiratory organs like lungs or gills, annelids rely on their skin to facilitate gas exchange.

    Which of these is often used as bait for fishes?  - ProProfs

    Which of these is often used as bait for fishes? 

    • Insects 

    • Leeches 

    • Ragworm 

    • Flat worm 

    Correct Answer
    A. Ragworm 
    Explanation
    Ragworm is often used as bait for fishes because it is a natural food source for many fish species. Its movement and scent attract fish, making it an effective bait. Additionally, ragworms are readily available and easy to handle, making them a popular choice among anglers.

    Which of these elements is not used to understand aquatic annelids?  - ProProfs

    Which of these elements is not used to understand aquatic annelids? 

    • Salinity 

    • Air currents

    • Oxygen content 

    • Pollution level 

    Correct Answer
    A. Air currents
    Explanation
    Air currents are not used to understand aquatic annelids because they primarily live in water and do not rely on air for their survival. Instead, aquatic annelids are studied and understood through factors such as salinity (the salt content in water), oxygen content (which affects their respiration), and pollution levels (which can impact their health and habitat).

    What is the process by which annelids move? - ProProfs

    What is the process by which annelids move?

    • Digestion 

    • Locomotion 

    • Budding 

    • Peristalsis 

    Correct Answer
    A. Peristalsis 
    Explanation
    Peristalsis is the process by which annelids move. It involves the contraction and relaxation of muscles in their body segments, which propels them forward. This movement is similar to the way a wave-like motion moves through a tube, such as the esophagus or intestines in humans. Annelids use peristalsis to crawl or burrow through soil or water, allowing them to search for food, escape predators, or find suitable habitats. This method of locomotion is highly efficient and enables annelids to navigate their environment effectively.

    What disease does earthworms attract to fishes? - ProProfs

    What disease does earthworms attract to fishes?

    • Fluke  disease 

    • Rosette disease 

    • Allele disease 

    • Whirling disease 

    Correct Answer
    A. Whirling disease 
    Explanation
    Whirling disease is caused by a parasite called Myxobolus cerebralis, which infects the nervous system of fish, including trout and salmon. Earthworms can act as intermediate hosts for the parasite, carrying it from one fish to another. When infected earthworms are consumed by fish, the parasite can then infect the fish, leading to the development of whirling disease. This disease can cause deformities in the fish's body, including a whirling or spinning behavior, hence the name "whirling disease".
