Which organisms have an apical sense organ with a statocyst for sensing position?

Ctenophores have 2 anuses.

EXTRA CREDIT! Worth 2 points. 🙂 Given the evidence, do you think sponges or ctenophores are most likely the sister group to all other animals? Why? (hint – the “why” is the important part)

True or false: Platyhelminthes are bilaterally symmetrical deuterostomes.

Explain how a nematocyst works. Use as many correct anatomical terms as you can. OR Describe how a coral develops from a planula into a large colony.

When wanting to image a sample in cross-section, which method will provide the smoothest and flattest surface?

Say you are performing EDS mapping of a specimen composed of Al and Ga. When you generate your Al map, you notice that you have a rather high signal in regions when you should only have Ga present, dashed region in the image below. Furthermore, when you go back and perform a spectrum analysis on the dashed region, you do not see the presence of Al. In addition, the regions that do have aluminum only show a very small amount is present. The best explanation for this is _____:
