Use the following information to answer the question(s) below.
Nudibranchs, a type of predatory sea slug, can have various protuberances (that is, extensions) on their dorsal surfaces. Rhinophores are paired structures, located close to the head, which bear many chemoreceptors. Dorsal plummules, usually located posteriorly, perform respiratory gas exchange. Cerata usually cover much of the dorsal surface and contain nematocysts at their tips.
-The stingers of honeybees have a function most similar to that of ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cerata, like the stingers of honeybees, contain structures that can deliver a toxin or sting to predators or prey. Rhinophores are more similar to antennae or noses, as they detect chemical cues in the environment. Dorsal plummules are involved in gas exchange, which is not relevant to the function of honeybee stingers. Chemoreceptors are sensory structures that can detect chemicals, but they do not necessarily have a similar function to honeybee stingers.
