To solve this worksheet, we need to label the parts of the worm using the word bank provided at the bottom:
clitellum,
tail,
mouth, and
segments.
Here is the step-by-step logic to place each label correctly:
1.
Identify the Head and Mouth:
* Look at the worm's head (the front part). In the diagram, the head is on the right side because that is where the pointed end is.
* The line pointing to the very tip of the head corresponds to the
mouth. This is where the worm eats.
2.
Identify the Tail:
* The tail is at the opposite end of the mouth.
* The line pointing to the back end of the worm (on the left side of the top curve) corresponds to the
tail.
3.
Identify the Clitellum:
* The clitellum is the thickened, smooth band near the head of the worm. It looks like a saddle or a belt.
* In the diagram, there is a distinct, thicker section near the head with a line pointing to it. This corresponds to the
clitellum.
4.
Identify the Segments:
* The rest of the worm's body is made up of many ring-like sections. These are called segments.
* The line pointing to one of the regular rings on the main body of the worm corresponds to the
segments.
Matching the boxes in the image:
*
Top Left Box: Points to the rear end of the worm. →
tail
*
Middle Right Box: Points to the very front tip. →
mouth
*
Bottom Left Box: Points to the thick band near the head. →
clitellum
*
Bottom Right Box: Points to the ringed body part. →
segments
Final Answer:
- Top left box:
tail
- Middle right box:
mouth
- Bottom left box:
clitellum
- Bottom right box:
segments
