Chapter 45, Problem 5A
Swimming underwater using forelimbs for propulsion is similar to flying through the air because
a. birds are the only class of vertebrates that have species that do both.
b. both involve coordinating movements of the forelimbs and hindlimbs.
c. both must counter strong
d. both involve generating lift by pushing down on the air or water to counter gravity.

Worms use a hydrostatic skeleton to generate movement. How do they do this?
a. Their bones are filled with water, which provides the weight of the skeleton.
b. The change in body structure is caused by contraction of muscles compressing the watery body fluid.
c. The muscles contain water vacuoles, which, when filled, provide a rigid internal structure.
d. The term hydrostatic simply refers to moist environment. They generate movement just as arthropods do.
What is an example of using a physical model to describe a leg bone?
