an animal without a backbone   invertebrate  
🗑
this provides mechanical support for muscle attachment and consistent body shape   skeleton  
🗑
they filter water to obtain food (ex. sponges)   filter feeder  
🗑
are in special cells found in the ectoderm, or outer layer, of jellyfish and similar organisms   nematocysts  
🗑
the organism can be divided into equal halves by any plane along the length of the organism   radial symmetry  
🗑
means that there are 2 equal sides to the animal   bilateral symmetry  
🗑
long, thin nerve cells found throughout the body of an animal or human   neurons  
🗑
a collection of neurons wrapped in protective coverings   nerve  
🗑
is an invertebrates "coordination center" and is sometimes called a simple brain   ganglion  
🗑
something an organism can sense   stimulus  
🗑
a structure that can sense a stimulus and then start an impulse traveling along a neuron   sensory receptor  
🗑
a system where the blood never leaves the blood vessels and just circulates throughout the earthworms body   closed circulatory system  
🗑
helps control the earthworms blood pressure   aortic arches  
🗑
a blood vessel that is very tiny; materials are exchanged between the blood and other body tissues in this   capillary  
🗑
a blood vessel that carries blood toward the heart   veins  
🗑
What is the key characteristic of sponges?   Their pores allow water to pass thru their body  
🗑
What two materials may compose a sponge skeleton?   spongin and spicules  
🗑
What material or substance provides support for an animal that has a hydrostatic skeleton?   jelly-like mass; water or some body fluid  
🗑
In what phylum do jellyfish and coral belong?   cnidarian  
🗑
Name the structure that jellyfish use for stinging.   nematocysts  
🗑
Why do hard corals live in relatively shallow depths?   coral have an algae living w/ then & need light for photosynthesis  
🗑
What kind of symmetry do cnidarians have?   radial symmetry  
🗑
What is the name given to the simple brain of an invertebrate such as a planarian?   Ganglion  
🗑
How does a planarian get rid of its waste products?   using flame cells and excretory tubules; indigestible food thru the mouth  
🗑
Name 3 round worms (genus or common name).   Ascaris, hookworms, pinworms or vinegar eels  
🗑
When an earthworm moves, what structures allow it to hold onto the soil?   bristles  
🗑
What do you call the indigestible soil in food that an earthworm expels as waste?   castings  
🗑
What organ removes waste from an earthworms blood?   excretory tubules  
🗑
How do sponges obtain food?   They filter water to obtain food; collar cells help cause the water to flow inward and exit thru the upper opening  
🗑
If you were to cut thru a large massive hard coral, what would you find?   Algae & layers of coral  
🗑
Describe how a planarian eats.   It eats by extending the pharynx thru the mouth and sucking the food into the intestine  
🗑
Why do we not want pets to have tapeworms?   Tapeworms are parasites that affect the animals insides.  
🗑
Since they do not have eyes, how do night crawlers (earthworms that come out at night) know to retreat into their burrows when a light is shined on them?   They have sensory receptors.  
🗑
How are earthworms beneficial to plant growth?   They digest animal matter so that it can be usable for plants to gather nutrients from the soil.
