Interestingly, Jack-O-Lantern mushrooms can bioluminescence, possibly attracting nighttime insects to spread spores. a. Name the phylum where you would place this organism. b. Upon which characteristic seen here can you base your decision? c. What toxin does this mushroom contain and what symptoms would you experience letting you know you are not eating Chanterelles?

Name one of the species of Penicillium (give the full scientific name –written properly) that produces such compounds. a. Scientific name: b. Why are these compounds important? Question 3 When making brie or camembert cheese, the initial cheese curd is packed into molds, washed, salted, and then inoculated with a fungus.

Question 9 Most current sources divide the phylum Arthropoda into four subphyla: Chelicerata, Crustacea, Hexapoda, and Myriapoda. a. Which subphylum is mostly aquatic in both fresh and marine waters? Some marine species are especially important at the base of important food chains. b. Name one example organism from this subphylum of Arthropods. c. Describe one major characteristic that distinguishes this subphylum from the others? Question 10 (refer to web site/webquest image) The organism pictured below belongs to the phylum Mollusca. a. To which class of Mollusca does this animal belong? b. Without any obvious limbs, explain how the pictured organism moves? c. If this organism did not have eight shell-like plates on its back/dorsal side, but instead possessed a spiral or coiled shaped exoskeleton and moved with a muscular foot, in which Class of Mollusca would you now place it?
